I was looking at a list of movies of yours and it shows The Sound of Music is your favorite movie from the 1960s. Then, you like Breakfast at Tiffany's, Mary Poppins, My Fair Lady, and then the rest. I was thinking I liked My Fair Lady the best and that it reminded me of ballet and that Audrey Hepburn did ballet.

I didn't see this as sold anywhere, so this is the only place to see it I think.
I also have on my site a video of Julie Andrews singing My Fair Lady and I like her as much.

As to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, when I read the book not extremely a long time ago, I found it put it all together for me. It just is a good thing to know. I imagined a lot of things reading that, too, about the way things were written. I did also like the illustration.
The 70s version set the groundwork. The 2005 version fed off it. It was amazing when it came out.
I agree the 70s one is quite dreamy in a good way. I find the 2005 one to be just as captivating in that sense. I can see if you think that's mainly the feature of the 2nd one and that it wasn't as classic as the 1st, though. I think other family movies seem like classics. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 2005 is like You've Got Mail and Titanic. They were popular, but the only way people felt comfortable was denying the extreme truth that they liked it so much and that they didn't know how to react to something like that. I wasn't a big movies person my whole life completely, and I didn't know when Pirates came out. I was surprised to see that people actually went out and said Johnny Depp was sexy. I also was surprised that Lindsay Lohan did drugs and I found out who she was after that, the girl from Parent Trap, which I found an interesting surprise in that she got famous from a family film. She was still young and could have gone in more mature films rather than take drugs and in that way try to look cool.
What I mean by classic is kinda that it's older and more traditional and also more real than set apart as a movie, like Meg Ryan always looking like she's right there but not behind a screen, at least in You've Got Mail. I went out and watched the most recent movie of her at one point recently. People tend to think that actors being more personal makes them less of an actor partly because we're not used to it and partly taking advantage of their good nature.
So, I like both, but both I stop after the girls are gone. I don't know what I'll do when I watch them again. I am impressed by Johnny Depp's performance in the 2nd one. I really like the English girl in the 1st one because she reminds me of me in a good way. The others are cute in a good way, as well, though. So?
Once, on TV I even saw George Bush watching a musical, a different version, of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I think you're right, the 1st one is better in that a child made the movie good, Veruca Salt. Gene Wild was good. Johnny Depp had a totally different character, and this role seemed like a very big deal. It's hard to pick between the two.
Edit: I like all the actors. It's just that Veruca Salt in the 1st one reminds me of what I like to be like just not bad. She had the most qualities that are specific to this generation of kids. The others had good qualities like this, too, of course. I think the other girl was very good. In the 2nd one, I also highly value these actors. It can't get any better than this.
