Here are some short summaries of a few movies I love.
Young Charlie lives with his grandparents and poor mother. He dreams of a way to help them. His dreams come true after he finds a Golden Ticket and wins a journey through Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, along with four other winners. Charlie is a poor but honest boy, but the other four winners are obnoxious and spoiled children: a gum-chewer, a TV-addict, a glutton, and a selfish rich girl. Each of them is felled by some imaginative catastrophe, leaving Charlie to win the biggest prize of all. There, in the factory, Charlie, his feisty Grandpa Joe discover a kind heart is a finer possession than a sweet tooth.

Titanic
into great art. The entire saga is told from present times in a flashback told by a 101-year-old survivor. Rose tells her intensely personal story to a rapt group of deep sea explorers who are plunging into the depths seeking Titanic riches. Instead
of treasures, they first get the priceless gift of understanding, an eye-witness account told with passion, poetry and beautiful sensuality. Which is where the romance fits in. Rose was a society girl engaged to a rich brute. But on the Titanic, she falls in love with a dashing young peasant who saves her life
in their first encounter and proves instrumental in her fate as the ship goes down. This romantic entanglement, replete with complications, class warfare, challenges, gunplay and narrow escapes, may be fiction but it supercharges the reality of a great film.
