silentbob Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It’s a classic in my house. Although my mom is still upset with one aspect of the movie. The candy man does a big song and dance, chucking out free candy to kids who haven’t paid for the candy. That’s ok I guess, but not when Charlie is short of some money for a single chocolate bar. Plus who could ever forget when the candy store guy gave that one girl a wallop with his counter top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
