“That was my BELL JAR, my TO THE LIGHTHOUSE. I thought that if it had been real they would just give me the factory — they wouldn’t even bother with a contest and those other kids.”

--Author and candy connoisseur Paul Rudnick on a significant book from his childhood, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY.

I always liked the film, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (with Gene Wilder, of course) better than the book. (Not a huge fan of Roald Dahl.)

Ditto for "The Princess Bride".
