I'm not sure what they used to come up with this list; to me it looks like a random list of movies with dogs in them; the kind of thing MSN could've written with an office poll, or by going to Rotten Tomatoes & searching "Dog Movies," organized by critics' scores.

Anything you might've included that they left out? Anything you agree with?

I'm 99.9% certain that's how they made this list. Anyway, not a big fan of dog movies; they get kind of sappy. The Disney ones are good; A BOY AND HIS DOG is good; WHITE GOD is good (but kind of rough going). Can't think of any others at the moment.

Wasn't there a bad 70s made-for-TV movie called THE HOUND FROM HELL?

Can we count The Thing?

The dogs were prominent until The Thing destroyed them.
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

When dogs serve as a crucial plot point for the film, then by all means, that qualifies it as a dog movie.
First rule is, 'The laws of Germany'
Second rule is, 'Be nice to mommy'
Third rule is, 'Don't talk to commies'
Fourth rule is, 'Eat kosher salamis'

I suppose this is not a list, but "dog movie" always makes me think of GOODBYE, MY LADY

I actually think of LASSIE COME HOME (1943) or old Rin Tin Tin movies.

Sappy movie. But I watched the sappy TV show all the time in the 60's, so- it's syrupy s**t.

SOUNDER (1972) is a film named for the dog, a very important symbol in the film, but hardly about the dog.  The film title has a different meaning once you listen to it, there's not a lot of music, but there is the mesmerizing sound of rural places... the film is SOUNDER.  Sounder sounding alarm, certainly attention... hearing.
