This post is part of Mashable's You're Old Week. Break through the haze of nostalgia with us and see what holds up, what disappoints, and what got better with time.

If you had a cable plan in the '90s or early 2000s, then there was a point at which you stumbled upon your first Disney Channel Original Movie. We might not all remember every DCOM – there's over 100 now – or even our first, but the ones that stand out, years later, are the weird ones.

Mashable ranked the weirdest DCOMs, but we want to hear from you with our favorite pop culture rubric: The bracket.
