I liked the recent-ish remake because it was (mostly) closer to the book than the earlier film. (Except for adding a weird and unnecessary subplot about Wonka having daddy issues because of a dentist father.) A lot of people I know disliked it, though, and I admit that I never clicked with the Gene Wilder movie because I'd imprinted on the book first and it's so very different in some key-to-me ways, so YMMV a great deal.
