Just in case you haven’t had enough chocolate for the upcoming Chocopalooza holiday, here are a few of our favorite films to check out to give you something to think about while you munch on truffles and kisses. For even more ideas, go to the Internet Movie Database — www.imdb.com — and type in “chocolate” as a search starter. Prepare to be amazed.

“Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971): Instead of “I want an Oompa Loompa NOW!” you can holler, “I want a chocolate river NOW!”

“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005): Watch Johnny Depp, rather than Gene Wilder, play the somewhat manic, eerily Michael Jackson-like Willy Wonka. 

“Chocolat” (2000): Johnny Depp smolders as a pre-Jack Sparrow seafarer stepping into the life of a chocolatier played by the gorgeous Juliette Binoche.

“Forrest Gump” (1994): Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) had a momma (played by Sally Fields) who always said, “life is like a box of chocolates,” but what Forrest Gump’s momma didn’t say was, “that boy of mine can act!”
