Top Live Action Disney Films Countdown

[Luke]

<center><img src="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/images/li ... "></center>

As promised, we're now doing a Countdown of the best Live Action Disney movies. Last November and December, we did a <a href="http://www.ultimatedisney.com/countdown/" target="countdown">countdown of the best Animated Classics</a> according to site visitors.

You are choosing from the 207 live action films theatrically released under the "Disney" name.

These films are listed by order of release on these two pages:
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/liveaction.htm (1980 - Present)
http://www.ultimatedisney.com/oldliveaction.htm (1941 - 1979)

Put together an ordered list of no less than 10 and no more than 20 of your favorite live action Disney films. You can post them here, e-mail it to me (countdown@ultimatedisney.com, include your forum user name), or PM to me.

Voting will end January 24. If there are any films you'd like to provide comments for in the Countdown Write-up Features (this may be a little different from the Animated one we did), PM or e-mail me (countdown@ultimatedisney.com) with the title(s) you're interested in, and I will get back to you if the film makes the Top 20 overall.

Thanks for participating and I hope this is as interesting and enjoyable as the Animated Classics countdown was last year!

Hey Luke I thought Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a Live Action Disney Film.

This is Touchstone, and is not a valid title to choose. You're only choosing from the 207 "Disney" films on the two live action lists linked to above.
