It was later remade in 2005 by Tim Burton, but the story of young Charlie Bucket and his precious Golden Ticket has remained timeless.

John Travolta was originally slated to appear in "Forrest Gump" before Tom Hanks was cast in the starring role. Steven Spielberg wanted Harrison Ford to star in "Jurassic Park" before the actor turned down the opportunity.
