67 Best Dog Movies, Ranked by Tomatometer
Dogs: Man's best friend, movie's most endangered hero. Seriously, how many times have we gone into a dog movie hoping we didn't just get suckered into another one where the dog dies in the end? But some of those movies make up the classics. And some of those movies where the dog lives happily after ever, with a nice house and a bowl of kibble and a robust 401k, are also classics. And some dog movies ain't so classic, but people love 'em anyways, so we're including those, and all the other good boys and girls of canine cinema for our guide to the 80 Best Dog Movies, ranked by Tomatometer!
First, we've retrieved all the golden films of yesteryear, like Old Yeller, Lassie, and The Incredible Journey. Then we rescued those nearly forgotten from the kennels of history, including Wendy and Lucy, Sounder, and Megan Leavey. After that, we introduced them to the tearjerkers of today, such as Hachi: A Dog's Tale and Marley and Me.
Because dogs can take on new dimensions of ferocity and cuteness in animation, there's plenty to see here in this list. Take the Disney classics (The Fox and the Hound, Bolt). Add a little stop-motion (Isle of Dogs, Frankenweenie). And, of course, bring along the ones that can solve mysteries (Scooby-Doo), hold a job (Wallace, he of Gromit), and pilot their house (Snoopy, Come Home).
The latest additions include Channing Tatum's Dog. We've also included Rotten movies that fans have embraced, like Clifford the Big Red Dog, A Dog's Purpose, Balto. Now, time to let all of them off the leash for the 67 Best Dog Movies, ranked by Tomatometer! —Alex Vo
