101 DALMATIANS (1996)
The live-action version of the 1961 animated classic is a must for any dog-lover. Who could forget the epic 'Twilight Bark,' somehow even more stirring when performed by real dogs. Forget the human actors, forget the plot - it's hard to resist one hundred and one spotted Dalmatians. Hugh Laurie plays a henchman, looking like an English Daniel Stern. A bone must be thrown to Glenn Close for her wonderfully manic performance, bringing the enduring Disney villainess Cruella DeVil to life. Generations of children are hard pressed to think of anything more terrifying than a woman in a fright wig who wants to make a coat out of puppies.
