** I won't judge you - III is the best of the prequels and I really think Ewen MacGregor made a great Obi-Wan Kenobi

*** This I will judge - for 2 reasons - Last Crusade over Raiders? Raiders set the bar for action/ adventure movies for the next 2 decades. It's almost a perfect movie. I have a some very sentimental attachments to Last Crusade and do love the movie, but it's a step below Raiders and is missing Karen Allen - Marion and Indy are the heart of that film. Second - Alien is totally Disney - it was part of the Great Movie Ride for almost 30 years!!

Oh you’ll judge me more in a minute lol… I dislike Raiders almost as much as Temple. Loved Indy and the whole adventuring concept, but could not stand Marion in any way - and there was an awful lot of her!

ETA: it occurs to me, too, that I was too young for Raiders when it came out - I saw Temple of Doom first via Betamax and only saw the monkey dinner scene, which traumatized me, so I didn’t watch the rest. Last Crusade was the first Indy pic I saw in a theater at an appropriate age. I’ve seen them all a gazillion times since, but Last Crusade still carries the best feelings!

I HAD to skip Alien to get to 3: much as I love it, it just doesn’t top the others for me. I needed an exit strategy! And I’m still mad Disney took away GMR.

SAFD: I still haven't figured out the first part of this question. So here's where I stand.

Live Action: I have enjoyed some of the animated remakes but I can't include them on this though I thought Cruella was great. And Beauty and the Beast was good too.

My list for Live action:

1. Saving Mr. Banks
2. Who Framed Roger Rabbit
3. Pirates of the Caribbean

Acquired IP:
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. The Last Crusade
3. Muppets. (All of them).

While I love the Marvel movies I can't keep them straight even though I watched all them during the Covid lockdown.

I also saw Temple of Doom probably too young and was traumatized.

I rewatched it relatively recently and still think that movie made some...very poor choices.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Sound of Music was Fox so it would fall under acquired IP.

It’s incredibly problematic in sooo many ways! My adult son and I have discussed it a few times and agreed it’s probably better classified as a horror movie.

It was also responsible for the creation of the PG-13 rating so I can’t disagree.
