Disclaimer: At 33:00 we messed up our own ranking! We tried to place Wonka in our overall ranking of all of Hugh Grant's movies, but we inexplicably forgot to add our two scores together, which meant Wonka ended up placing 49/50 films! The movie would have finished 25th place if scored correctly.
Wonka (2023), directed by Paul King, tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, a character from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, featuring his early days as a chocolatier. Wonka is the third live-action movie based on Dahl's famous book, after Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005). With dreams of opening a shop in a city renowned for its chocolate, a young and poor Willy Wonka, discovers that the industry is run by a cartel of greedy chocolatiers. If that wasn't bad enough, he must also work out how to contend with his stalker, a small orange man played by Hugh Grant.
