8 Movies That Never Should’ve Been Remade

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Just eight?!

Here’s one…

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Tim Burton’s remake of the well-loved children’s film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was not only totally unneeded, but leaves you feeling a little uncomfortable with the child-like candy maker. In the original, Gene Wilder played Wonka as a quirky, yet cynical adult who you would feel OK leaving your children with if it weren’t for those unfortunate accidents waiting in every room for the naughty kids. Johnny Depp’s Wonka, however, comes across as one-part potential pedophile, one-part village idiot. And don’t even get us started on the new Oompa Loompas.

The rest are here.
