This is my list more or less in the order I prefer them:
1.) Swiss Family Robinson
2.) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
3.) Pete's Dragon
4.) Pollyanna
5.) The Parent Trap
6.) Freaky Friday
7.) Toby Tyler
8.) Mary Poppins
9.) The Happiest Millionaire
10.) The Absent Minded Professor
11.) Summer Magic
12.) Babes in Toyland
13.) Third Man on the Mountain
14.) The Shaggy Dog
15.) The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin
I'll stop there because the list could go on forever. I'm almost to the end of my quest to watch every Disney film made when Walt was alive. I'm currently on "Mary Poppins," which was made in 1964, so I only have 2 more years worth of films to go. It's been really neat to relive these films in the context of what was going on at the studio and what public interest was like during that time period. I agree with slave2moonlight when he said

I couldn't have said it better myself.I'm sure there are a lot of folks like me, who feel "classic" Disney live-action has a certain quality to it that makes pretty much all of them likable favorites.
