20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Richard Fleischer’s 1954 Disney classic adapts Jules Verne with James Mason (as Captain Nemo), Kirk Douglas, Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre, and a sassy sea lion named Esmeralda along for the ride. Though the characters face a lot of peril and adventures, there’s a reason everyone always remembers the giant squid attack first when they think of 20,000 Leagues. (Streaming on Disney+)
