A couple of films to go with your chocolates!

Chocolat

(PG-13, 2000)

A woman in the process of trying to find herself opens a chocolate shop in a small French village, much to the chagrin of the uptight residents. Along the way, she changes their hearts and her own. Stars the lovely Juliette Binoche and a dashing Johnny Depp. Finally, a movie where chocolate is the star! Based on the book by Joanne Harris. Incidentally, I enjoyed the film & decided to give the book a miss. I've been told this was a smart move! I also love the music, composed by the talented Rachel Portman and some tracks feature Stephan Grapelli. One of my favourite films (and that's not because of Johnny Depp!) Our rating: 5 out of 5 choccies

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

(G, 1971)

This is the original 1971 chocolate movie starring Gene Wilder, in which a poor boy wins the chance to visit the world's greatest candy factory, and we get to go with him. If it were me, I would take my chances and jump in the chocolate river. Our rating: 5 out of 5 choccies
