I agree that the Disney movies are great. While the animated ones are best known, the live action ones are great too. Specifically recommend:
Mary Poppins
Escape to Witch Mountain (1975)
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
The Parent Trap (1961)
Pete's Dragon (1977)
Pollyanna
Freaky Friday (1976)
Honey I Shrunk the Kids
The Santa Clause
Princess Diaries
Sky High
Wikipedia has a list of Disney Movies. Generally, when they've remade the movies, I think the originals are better.
