regardless, the original is by far superior. "we are the magic makers... and we are the dreamers of dreams." yes they did the squirrel thing rather than the golden egg for veruca salt gene wilder>johnny depp also, the old one was called willy wonka and the chocolate factory and the new one was called charlie and the chocolate factory, which is the name of the book. |

I love the music in the original way better than the music in the new one. And I like the original Oompa Loompas better... Gene Wilder makes a much warmer Wonka, too. I love Johnny Depp, but he was kind of a dead-looking/acting Wonka. |

honestly? i haven't seen them back-to-back to compare directly, but i think i have to stick with the original. while the “remake” was much closer to the book's story, i actually think the original did a better job of capturing the books spirit, and which is more important? the remake was just too slick and over done, and didn't have the same charm and magic as the original film and book! and i agree with whoever said that Gene Wilder is Willy Wonka (only without the accentuation, which is all mine [of course!]), but i'm kind of shocked that Danny Elfman hasn't really been called out yet, because his songs were unbearable, and the absolute worst thing about the movie (especially compared to those in the original!) although, the remake does have Christopher Lee in it, and, well, no movie with Christopher Lee can be all bad (although it can be all bad except for the fact that it has Christopher Lee in it!) |

I've never seen the original, and I love the new one...so I voted for the new one. I'm prepared for people to say "WHAT!?!?!"  Yesterday, I was walking around campus and this guy came up to me and asked "Excuse me, do you like coffee?" and I replied "No, I've never had it." to which he replied "You haven't had coffee? You haven't lived!" I then proceeded to walk away. I feel the same way about this thread.  _________________

but i don't think you should vote if you haven't seen one or the other. you don't actually know if it's better, so how can you vote in a "which is better?" poll? hah. |

OLD one. no question. I agree with the earlier statement that while the new one stuck closer to the book technically, the spirit of the book was better captured in the old one. I mean, sure they used the exact song lyrics found in the book. but they did it with these retarded computer-generated oompa loompa rap sequences that looked like a bad 80's music video. _________________ -Brooke |

if you've never seen the old one you definitely must not watch tv and/or have cable. new one didn't even touch the old one. i agree, if you haven't seen both you should not vote. also, didn't they manufacture the Slugworth part for the original movie in order to have a villain? TCM had a special on Gene Wilder just the other week and he talked about playing Wonka and basically he was trying to "scare the sh*t" out of the kids. he also refused to play the part if he could not do that awesome first appearance gag (with the cane). _________________ I am Torgo.
