The Best Movies on Disney+ Every Film Lover Must Watch

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Disney became famous for its short animated films, and in 1937, they created their first full-length animated feature. Even if the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs doesn’t appeal to you, it’s a hugely important film for anyone interested in the history of animation. Plus, a recent restoration means it looks fantastic on Disney+.

Pinocchio (1940)

Many of Walt Disney’s first animated films are now considered classics, but they weren’t all successful when they first came out. For example, Pinocchio is now celebrated as a Disney masterpiece, but it initially failed at the box office and lost the studio around $1 million—a significant amount of money back then. This was partly due to World War II, which greatly reduced ticket sales overseas. Disney re-released the film several times over the years, and it eventually became profitable. It just proves that a movie’s success isn’t always immediate. (By the way, be sure to watch the original animated version—avoid the live-action remake unless you really want to frustrate someone!)

The Three Caballeros (1944)

While not considered one of Disney’s most iconic early animated films, The Three Caballeros remains a unique and interesting part of Disney history. Originally created as a series of shorts to celebrate Donald Duck’s 10th anniversary, the film features lovely hand-drawn animation, energetic music, and a pioneering blend of animation and live-action. The characters – Donald Duck, Jose Carioca, and Panchito Pistoles – have remained popular for decades, with a ride at Epcot and a recent TV series, Legend of the Three Caballeros, to their credit.

Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Sleeping Beauty is arguably the most beautiful of all the classic Disney movies, and it’s worth watching for the visuals alone. However, it’s pretty strange that the fairies spent over 15 years protecting the princess without using any magic, only to let her wander into danger on the very day they were worried about! And then they used a bunch of spells for a silly birthday party? Seriously, fairies?! Despite its stunning animation, I wouldn’t trust those fairies to babysit my children. But overall, Sleeping Beauty is truly a gorgeous film.

Star Wars (1977)

It remains the original and, many would argue, still the best. Even after 50 years, the dynamic between the characters, the exciting sense of adventure, and the thrilling final attack on the Death Star haven’t been surpassed – and countless films have tried, often by simply copying it. While there are many ways to judge a film’s quality, I often find myself revisiting this one, even with so many other choices available on streaming services like Disney+, Netflix, and Amazon.

The Great Muppet Caper (1981)

While many people love The Muppet Movie, I’ve always preferred its sequel – a really fun and charming heist comedy featuring the Muppets. It’s enjoyable throughout, and honestly, if it had just 15 more minutes of Charles Grodin chasing after Miss Piggy, it would be perfect!

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

The Indiana Jones movies perfectly combined the styles of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. Lucas loved creating fun, nostalgic adventures, while Spielberg was a master of exciting action and chases. This combination led to four sequels and a TV show, but the original, Raiders of the Lost Ark, remains the best. While it might not be Spielberg’s most emotionally deep film, it’s arguably the one to save for future generations simply because it’s so enjoyable to watch again and again.

The Princess Bride (1987)

Similar to This Is Spinal Tap, Rob Reiner’s The Princess Bride wasn’t a huge success when it first came out in theaters. But over time, and thanks to being shown on cable TV repeatedly, it became one of the most popular children’s movies of the late 1900s. The story centers on a grandfather (Peter Falk) reading a tale to his ill grandson (Fred Savage) about the courageous Westley (Cary Elwes) and his quest to save his true love, Buttercup (Robin Wright), from a group of villains – including the cunning Vizzini (Wallace Shawn) and the skilled swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin). While it’s aimed at children, the film is full of humor, romance, and adventure that adults will enjoy just as much.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

It’s easy to argue that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of the most important films of the last half-century – I’ve certainly made that case before. It was a turning point for animation, brilliantly blending cartoons with live action. But it’s more than just groundbreaking technically; it’s also a fantastic detective story, a charming buddy cop movie, a really funny comedy, and honestly, one of the scariest films I remember seeing as a kid. I had nightmares about Judge Doom for years!

The Little Mermaid (1989)

I grew up watching The Little Mermaid over and over again, and it, along with other Disney movies from that era, really resonated with those of us who were kids in the ’80s. It’s amazing revisiting those films with my own children and seeing them with fresh eyes. Now, as an adult, what strikes me most about The Little Mermaid is actually how beautifully animated Ariel’s hair is underwater – it’s just a joy to watch it move! Of course, the music is fantastic, but the hair is what really stands out to me now.

The Rocketeer (1991)

“The Rocketeer” represents a fascinating “what if” for Disney. Before they owned Marvel, the company tried to create its own superhero franchise, but it didn’t quite succeed. Though a beloved film from the ’90s, it only lasted for one movie, despite a later animated series. The film still resonates today, perhaps because its historical setting gives it a timeless quality – it’s a fun story about an ordinary pilot who discovers a powerful jetpack and becomes a hero.

Aladdin (1992)

“A Whole New World” with Peabo and Regina, best end credits song ever. ’Nuff said!

Finding Nemo (2003)

While it might not be Pixar’s greatest film, Finding Nemo truly captures the spirit of what makes Pixar special. It features an unlikely pair on an adventure – a journey that happens to be underwater! – along with a fantastic group of supporting characters. The story builds to a thrilling climax, and at its heart, it’s a deeply moving tale about a father’s determination to rescue his son.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)

With the freedom to focus solely on Spider-Man’s ongoing story, Sam Raimi crafted a compelling saga in Spider-Man 2 about Peter Parker’s connection with a gifted scientist (Alfred Molina, who delivers what many consider the best performance in any Spider-Man film). This scientist is ultimately corrupted by his own unchecked ambition and a dangerous set of robotic arms.

Even after 20 years, the movie still looks fantastic – the train sequence remains a standout moment in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. The way the film relentlessly throws challenge after challenge at Peter Parker makes the eventual happy, though somewhat poignant, ending all the more rewarding.

Inside Out (2015)

Even before becoming Pixar’s chief creative officer, Pete Docter was known as a creative force at the studio. He contributed as a writer to beloved films like Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and WALL-E, and directed some of Pixar’s most acclaimed movies, including Monsters, Inc., Up, and Inside Out. Inside Out is a particularly clever film, exploring the complex inner world of an 11-year-old girl named Riley. When Riley moves from Minnesota to San Francisco, her life is turned upside down, leading to a humorous and insightful conflict between the personified emotions in her brain. The film’s depiction of Riley’s mind is visually stunning and endlessly imaginative. Beyond its creativity, Inside Out is a profoundly wise and moving story about the vital role of sadness and grief in our lives, and remains the high point of Docter’s impressive career.
