Another good move to get stoned to is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Though I liked it sober too..

Which version? The lighter 70s version or the darker remake?

Dude, the Johnny Depp one kinda creeped me out. His version of Willy Wonka is NOT someone to bring children around. Kinda Michael Jackson-y. And when the kids won golden tickets, they weren't even approached by the spy dude. WTF? And oh! The Oompa Loompas sucked! Gotta say I was disappointed with the remake. You guys?

I really can't condone drug use no matter how bad the movies are.
Tim Burton in general creeps me out. About the only thing he's done that I liked was the first Batman movie.
I'd probably like his version of Sweeney Todd but I missed it. I have to wait for the DVD now.

Well, Sweeny Todd is already on DVD...and that was EXACTLY who I thought of for Depp's Wonka Raven! Though I haven't read the book, from what I've been told the remake is actually much closer to the feel of his character...

Burton read the original book and thought Willie Wonka was nothing like the book so he found someone who never saw the movie, gave them the book to read, and told them to write the script. He went up to Dept with no script but with just an idea and he signed on to it. I personally loved the movie.

I saw Sweeney Todd. Burton certainly got the atmosphere right and Johnny was great. I could have done without a little less explicit violence but at least I knew it was coming and could close my eyes! But I really missed "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd" song - it served as a moral framework for the play and this was missing in the movie.

I agree completely Scat...though the explicit violence is fairly standard for the tale...

I was going for S-Cat but I think my keyboard farted again... I like Skitty I think the point is that you're supposed to be creeped out by the whole thing...after all, he's basically tailored punishments for all of the winners to punish them for their individual sins...Any person who does that (not to mention essentually enslaves an entire species for his factory) is not exactly good...
