I have all but Cujo for my son.
That is how I know the movies.
The 1st one on that list is his favourite, I cant tell you how many times I have had to watch it.
Oh in case your wondering during the storm last night we watched Beethoven 2nd.

I have already watched the new Max movie twice.
I did check google for the dates of some of the movies though, as I dont remember when they were made.
Most of my movies are still on VHS.
I do have many on PVR these days which makes my life easier to pull the movies up for him to watch. But thanks!

My son is a HUGE dog fan.

Thumbs up Dog Movies

Far From Home - The Adventures of Yellow Dog - 1995

Synopsis written by Todd Baldridge and copied from IMDB:

John and Catherine McCormick relocate from Vancouver, Canada to the coast of British Columbia, where sailing enthusiast John teaches his 16-year-old son Angus and 9-year-old son Silas basic seamanship and outdoor survival skills. Angus has rescued a stray Golden Labrador that he names Yellow, and considers Yellow to be his best friend, though John and Catherine aren't so sure Angus is responsible enough to care for Yellow. But Angus talks them into letting him keep Yellow. One day while John, Angus, and Yellow are out on the ocean in their boat, just the three of them, they drift right into a storm with hurricane-force winds, and a huge wave swallows the boat. John is found almost right away and taken to a hospital, but Angus and Yellow are nowhere to be found, because they are in the lifeboat that they had with them. The lifeboat drifts Angus and Yellow to nearby land, a strange place that seems far from any civilization. Angus and Yellow's abilities to survive in the wild are put to the test. As Angus and Yellow fend off wild animals, build a shelter, and signal for help, John and Catherine work with the Coast Guard in a desperate search for Angus and Yellow.

Far from Home, this movie made me loose it every time I watched it. I remember watching it one time on the Greyhound to McMurray, bawled my face off.

I just have a question.
A long time ago I saw a "werewolf" movie in which people were being mangled at night, and all the town people were convinced a werewolf was responsible. This thing could open doors and break into cars.

It turned out to be a murder movie.
The deputy sheriff had grudges against certain people, and had a huge vicious dog that he kept hidden.

He'd open the doors and bust windows etc, then sic the dog on them, and do some "mutilating" of the victim to maintain the "werewolf" theory. He got away with it for quite a while.

Does anyone know the name of that movie? Google didn't help.

Thanks!

"Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" is my favourite "feel good" dog movie. It is a "talking animal" movie, but their mouths don't move as they talk, so it almost seems more like you're hearing their thoughts.

Just as much a tear jerker as Marley and Me.
