Lincoln (2012)Ī more recent addition to the Touchstone lineup is Lincoln. Disney typically keeps away from the violence of war in their Studio films, but because of Touchstone, they’re able to retell these harrowing stories, despite Pearl Harbor receiving largely mixed reviews. We have a couple of war dramas included in this list, and the first one you may not know Disney had a hand in is Pearl Harbor! This 2001 saga stars a mighty young Ben Affleck and an even younger Josh Hartnett. Fun fact, Ransom also features Gary Sinise, brought to Disney stardom in his role as CAPCOM in the Mission: SPACE pre-show at EPCOT! Sinise has also taken thousands of Gold Star children to Disney World each and every year, so he’s a legend in our book! © Touchstone Pictures 7. It’s about, as the name implies, a $2 million ransom that is set against Mel Gibson’s son. Ransom is the next R-rated film to be included on our list.

The Village is certainly not for the faint of heart and definitely not for those little ones in your family! This is another M. Night Shyamalan films included on this list!

Instead of the Declaration of Independence, Cage has to steal 50 luxury cars if he wants to save the life of his brother, who was taken captive by a gangster.

Armageddon is also the highest grossing Touchstone film worldwide with combined global earnings of $553,709,788.
