You don't have to be born when something came out to feel nostalgia about it. I have nostalgia about watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a kid in the 90's, and that film was release in the 70's.

Ironically, Willy Wonka didn't achieve ubiquitous popularity until the late-80's/early-90's when it started to appear on home television and subsequently made a successful return to theatres. Upon initial release, the film was not regarded as a big success, nor was it propelled by nostalgia during its ressurection. It was just a well-made film that didn't receive the attention it deserved until after the fact.
Now that I think about it, this actually draws some interesting parrallels with Oddworld, with the chrome-polished, Johnny Depp remake attempting to capture the spirit of the original. I think everyone can agree that the Wonka films are far removed from nostalgia when discussing which is superior.
