Now this week I would like to know what top 5 classic disney live action films would you suggest to a person who has never seen a disney film? 1)Mary Poppins. A simple classic. 2)Song of the South. Forget what you hear about this movie being racist its not. find a copy and watch it. 3)The Parent Trap. The original not the remake. 4) The swiss Family Robinson. 5) Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The guys here at Laughing place don't like, but I do and always will. Thanks everybody.

Mary Poppins -- by far the best classic live action movie. One of my favorite of all time. Ok, I can't think of any more. I don't recall every seeing anymore live action (I saw Song of the South when I was very little, and while my mom got a copy from eBay, I never watched it). So my only movie is Mary Poppins.

Originally Posted By basil fan I thought by classic you meant pre-90s, so here goes: Mary Poppins: so beloved, it's hard to imagine anyone not appreciating it. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: The ultimate adventure story & my personal favorite. The Absent-Minded Professor: wacky comedy, and that basketball game is a hoot. Night Crossing: Because it is such a serious theme, also a great pic. The Parent Trap: (the original, of course) It's got comedy, but not so wacky, drama, but not too serious, ad is a great intro to haley Mills. Again, I went for variety.
