Was stricken with this as a kid, it was another big budget cast-of-thousands total critical flop and Box office disaster
It played for less than a week in my hometown so I was lucky to see it on the big screen at all
The Rocky Horror Picture Show showed up at the same theatre a while later and played 5 nights a week for 7 years...

The first time I saw the movie was on TV. I can remember the TVGuide having a big article about it. I had to be somewhere in the mid to early 70's. I remember staying up late to see it, and every second that it took to get to its showing time seemed like an eternity. When I finally watched it, it was everything I could have ever hoped for. I was very happy after seeing it. It is one of those movies that really played on my imagination, being born in early 68. It was about 10 years later that I was able to see it again. That was about 10 years of Wonka hunger and images that needed to be verified. The second time was just as good as the first. I still watch it whenever it's on. Hopefully Hollywood will get weirder and make a re-make!
