Disney Channel Original Movies, or DCOMs, are some of the best things to have been invented in the late 90s. From “Halloweentown High” to “Jump In!”, there is no contest that when Disney Channel is having an original movie marathon, I’ll drop whatever I’m doing and watch it. Then again, it also depends upon what movies are being shown. So to try and help you narrow it down from the 100 that there are, here is a definitive list of my top 22 favorite Disney Channel Original Movies from 1998 to 2012—because let’s face it, anything after that wasn’t that great.

To start it off, one of my all-time favorite classic DCOMs is...

1. "Halloweentown"

Because let's face it, who doesn't love this movie? It's literally all about Halloween!

2. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century"

Now, if this movie isn't one of your favorites, let me tell you why it should be. It's about a 13-year-old girl who saves her space station from impending doom after a computer virus has been activated to crash the ship. If that doesn't scream incredible, I don't know what does.

3. "Smart House"

Now this movie, much like "Halloweentown", is a classic. I mean a house run by a controlling cyber mom that locks everyone inside and doesn't let them leave...truly crazy.

4. "Motocrossed"

When this girl's twin brother breaks his leg right before his big motocross event, she does what any normal person would do: she cuts her hair off and pretends to be her brother!

5. "Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge"

Another "Halloweentown" movie? Who could honestly be surprised. I mean the first one was just SO fantastic! What's not to like about a strictly Halloween based movie!?

6. "Cadet Kelly"

Hilary Duff takes on boot camp? Iconic.

7. "Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook-Off"

This movie is one of personal favorites! Between the cooking competitions, the baseball games, and the inclusion of Bobby Flay, what more could you want!

8. "Pixel Perfect"

Unrequited love, an autonomous human hologram, and a band that needs saving, this 2004 DCOM was great based solely on the fact that it included Disney star Ricky Ullman, who was also playing the main character in "Phil of the Future" at this time.

9. "Halloweentown High"

From the start of Halloweentown, we've watched Marnie and her family grow up, so to have a third installment in the series was simply overwhelming, especially since the characters were starting high school.

10. "Twitches"

From "Sister, Sister" to "Twitches Too", Tia and Tamera Mowry made the ultimate comeback to acting in "Twitches" in 2005 to play what would be some of their more notable roles as the twin witches Camryn and Alex.

11. "High School Musical"

What team? WILDCATS! This movie is one of the best DCOMs of all time for obvious reasons and if you don't know why, we simply can't be friends.

12. "Cow Belles"

ALY AND AJ: THAT IS ALL.

13. "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"

Because there's always a special place in our heart for London Tipton.

14. "The Cheetah Girls 2"

Although The Cheetah Girls was a great movie, The Cheetah Girls 2 was even greater as The Cheetah Girls traveled all the way to Barcelona to compete in a music festival and "Strut" like they mean it--if you don't get this reference, were you even a true Cheetah Girls fan?

15. "Jump In!"

Corbin Bleu and "Push It To The Limit"....need I say more?

16. "High School Musical 2"

Now although the first High School Musical will always hold a special place in my heart, I truly believe that the second one is the better of the trilogy, if not purely for "Bet On It" and "I Don't Dance."

17. "Minutemen"

Time-machines, black holes, the FBI, and the struggles of juggling high school. This movie just screams greatness. And let's not forget about Jason Dolley either.

18. "Camp Rock"

A movie including music camp, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato: Amazing.

19. "Princess Protection Program"

Let me tell you why "Princess Protection Program" was one of the best DCOMs of all time: Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. This movie was purely fantastic because it starred two of the most iconic OGs of Disney Channel itself, and also who doesn't love a little coronation ceremony.

20. "The Wizards of Waverly Place Movie"

Between the crazy wizarding games, the show continuation, and the family wizard being revealed--spoiler it's Selena Gomez--this movie was one of the best to come out of a television series.

21. "Starstruck"

With the reunion of the Sunny With A Chance actors, Brandon Mychal Smith and Sterling Knight, what more could you possibly need. Not only was this movie what every girl wished for--I mean she literally got to date a celebrity--but the songs that were included were literal bops. I mean I still listen to "Starstruck" and "Hero" all the time.

And lastly we have...

22. "Let It Shine"

Coco Jones, Tyler James Williams, and rap competitions. This certainly was a very memorable Disney Channel Original Movie and it definitely pumped out some notable tunes. Their spin on "Let It Shine" will live on forever.

Now although some of you may have differing opinions on what constitutes as the best DCOMs, these are some of my personal favorites and all time classic movies that premiered between 1998 and 2012. So while you may either disagree with some of my movie choices or quite possibly not have even seen them, I advise you to do so and then get back to me. Because let's face it, these are some of the best.
