My favorite is still probably ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’.

Mine too--for giving us sheer fun and adventure, while asking some important questions. One thing I love about that movie--and something that is unusual for Disney--is that (IMO) it has no clearcut hero. Ned Land does some heroic things, but he's also kind of a jerk. OTOH, Nemo could be classified as a monomaniacal (even homocidal) lunatic, but one with incredible vision and genius.

Now for Kirk Douglas in a villainous role, it's hard to beat The Bad and the Beautiful. Wow, talk about cold!

The sea holds many treasures, but she has her dangers too/So keep one hand at the tiller and another at the pump/And let’s all pray our captain has an eye both keen and true/And common sense to tell the hands: “Abandon ship—let’s jump!”

DS and AitH definitely.

Gunfight at the OK Corral for a third perhaps.

Also love him in Strange Love of Martha Ivers, Out of the Past

Edit: Can’t believe I forgot Champion .. my favourite performance of his.

What a great film.
