I sort of liked Haunted Mansion as well, that is, if you can find a way to ignore the Evers family.

Oh, man, I can't believe I forgot "The Adventures of Huck Finn!" It is truly one of my favorite films of all time! I used to watch it A LOT, but it's been a little while I guess. I also really like "Tom and Huck."

I don't really consider stuff like Popeye or Dragonslayer for a list like this, but for the record, I'm a huge fan of the Popeye movie. Dragonslayer is very good too. I DO count Who Framed Roger Rabbit because it is not only half Disney but also includes many Disney toons.

Return To Oz was a good film.

"The Parent Trap" (original)
"Swiss Family Robinson"
"The Happiest Millionaire"
"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"

I couldn't find an appropiate thread for this sort of discussion in general, so I figured this one is as good as any. Tonight on Hallmark channel (probably much to Flangy's joy) I saw Happiest Millionaire for the very first time. And I think it's quickly shot up to one of the spots of my favorite Disney live action films/ musicals. It's not specifically a spectacular film, but it's darn good fun. The songs by the Sherman Brothers are great, the sets and scenery all beautifully lavish, and the performances all around were great.

Tommy Steele definitely stole the film for me, and it was just with every scene of him. I'm certainly going to look now into finding more musicals with him in them. I also found great enjoyment in Geraldine Page's performance, probably because there's something about snooty rich women characters I enjoy to watch. And John Davidson's dimples were adorable.

I have plans now to go out tomorrow and pick this up on DVD. It's shot up a great leap to becoming one of my fave Disney films.

I've always felt that "Happiest Millionaire" would make an ideal stage musical; I suppose because I've always longed to play Angie...

I think that would be a terrific idea. I think it would have the potential to be changed into a well made stage production.

And I think it would be great fun to play John Lawless myself.

If it were a musical, sign me up to play Cordy Biddle's undergarments.

There are a ton of others, but one that I won't watch and never own is the live action "101 Dalmations" because I miss all the wonderful music that the animated version had, and I keep waiting for someone to break into song with "Cruella DeVille" or something like that.
