I'm a sucker for the Gene Wilder version. Brings back great childhood memories.

The Lion King · 04-06-2008, 03:56 AM

Both, although the original is infinitely better.

If michael jackson got any whiter! he would look like this

Stephie_is_a_dork · 04-06-2008, 04:02 AM

If I could only have one it would be Willy Wonka for sure. I'd be okay with both though.

CheapChildren · 04-06-2008, 05:07 AM

Willy only!

I liked the Gene Wilder one better but i voted both. On a Gene wilder side note id love See no evil, Hear no Evil with Richard Pryor, love that movie.

I would love to read the actual book myself to get a better idea of how the story differs from the movies. But we all know books have not always translated well into film

This one would have. Wonka is supposed to be more like a michievous wood sprite than anything else. Other than that, the burton movie, minus the stupid father issues subplot that was inserted for no reason is nigh perfect to the book.

The sequel on the other hand, no, that wouldn't do well at all as a movie

Same here.

Such a weird movie. Remember those old village people that just lied in their beds all day and never got up or went anywhere for years?

Blu Haze · 04-06-2008, 04:35 PM

None of them.

jw · 04-06-2008, 04:36 PM

The original, remember Johnny wears too much make up

thr0ttles · 04-06-2008, 04:37 PM

both, but i prefer the Gene Wilder version 10x over the Depp one

cartman781 · 04-06-2008, 04:38 PM

The First one or nothing for me

blurayboy · 04-06-2008, 04:54 PM

I've seen both and I strongly prefer the newer one with Johnny Depp. The first Willy Wonka scares me

Rovic · 04-06-2008, 05:03 PM

If its between one or the other,I'd say the original...but hey if bring em both...why not...

dahoover · 04-06-2008, 05:16 PM

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory! Johnny Depp is awesome as Willy Wonka.

TALENE · 04-06-2008, 05:28 PM

I'd say both

toppsseller · 04-06-2008, 07:05 PM

Gene Wilder by a landslide. I got through 15 minutes with Johnny Depp and then done.

DefTechPioElite · 04-06-2008, 07:19 PM

love the original, but love burton's vision too.
