We were really shook to the core with the revelation that the iconic Willy Wonka was made 50 years ago…
We wouldn’t dream of flicking on last year’s I’m A Celeb, but it got us thinking about what other iconic movies are turning a couple of decades old – that we’d be happy to sit and watch with no complaints! Like come onnnnnn – Willy Wonka is a Christmas afternoon special in almost every Irish household, right?!
I will warn you all that this list can and will make you feel old!!
