As one of the most beloved films of the 70's, it still holds up over 50 years later. Whenever you hear somebody say "Golden Ticket," They're referencing this. But with that said, if it was remade in the 2020's (not the Wonka prequel, but remade shot by shot), it would have been higher quality. The first half of the movie with Charlie getting his hopes up, having them crushed, and getting them back up again, felt longer then necessary and overall boring. The real good part of the movie was the enthusiasm and childhood spirit Gene Wilder brought to Willy Wonka. The visual effects of the chocolate factory was ahead of its time, and who doesn't love the Oompa-Loompas? The song was even catchier than I remember.
