Welcome to UltimateDisney.com Greg McElhatton.

You will enjoy it here.

Ok, sports fans.... Here's my list:

1. Mary Poppins (who else?)
2. Never Cry Wolf (a Disney film where the main character eats mice!)
3. Freaky Friday (the original with Jodie Foster)
4. Living Desert (outside of that annoying square dance, a perfect film)
5. Muppet Christmas Carol (though I consider this a Muppet film first)
6. Song of the South (not deserving of its long-standing obscurity)
7. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea (what's not to like?)
8. Darby O'Gill and the Little People (definite sleeper)
9. Something Wicked This Way Comes (Bradbury is a god)
10. Candleshoe (Jodie again--see #3)
11. Straight Story (Richard should have gotten Best Actor)
12. Now You See Him, Now You Don't (childhood favorite)
13. Love Bug (who'd a-thunk a VW could act?)
14. Third Man on the Mountain (a surprisingly engaging little yarn)
15. Journey of Natty Gann (love the film, not the DVD)
16. Napoleon and Samantha (Jodie again. Sorry.)
17. Treasure Island (fully live-action debut)
18. Cool Runnings (ya mon)
19. Misadventures of Merlin Jones (delightfully quirky, a genre unto itself)
20. Ten Who Dared (So bad it's good. I love to make fun of it.)

WORST LIVE ACTION TITLES

1. Ten Who Dared ("Rock-Bottom Disney" - Leonard Maltin)
2. Monkeys Go Home!
3. The Monkey's Uncle
4. Lt. Robinson Crusoe, USN (co-stars a Monkey)
5. Moon Pilot (also co-starring a Monkey)
6. The Misadventures of Merlin Jones (co-starring a Chimpanzee - close enough!)
7. The Barefoot Executive (More Monkeys!)
8. Disney History Films Co-starring Jeff York, Who Looks Like a Monkey (Johnny Tremain, Great Locomotive Chase...and Ten Who Dared, because Brian Keith with fake beard looks like Jeff York)
9. Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue (Richard Todd looks like an Oragutang in a Kilt)
10. Son of Flubber (apparently written by Monkeys)
11. Herbie Goes Bananas (sounds Monkey-ish)
12. Superdad (starts to make joke about how Bob Crane and Monkeys at the Zoo are similar, decides not to)
13. Unidentified Flying Oddball (Ron Moody and Jim Dale apparently had monkeys for agents)
14. Million Dollar Duck (Dean Jones sort of looks like a lemur)
15. Ten Who Dared (Actually Would Have Been Better With Monkeys)

Does anyone know when the last day of this is? I have to watch a few more to make 20 titles!

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.

Here's the date poco.

Ok, I'll bite.... Welcome Ernest.

Actually, before I read that I was just about to suggest that we start your "WORST LIVE ACTION TITLES" as a separate thread. It would be something fun to do.
