The city Atari lives in, Megasaki City, Japan, passes an executive order that banishes all dogs from the city to safe the city from the spread of Canine flu.

If you know the director, Wes Anderson – this is his second movie, He works his magic and showcases his skill at set-building in every single scene. The choice of stop-motion allows Anderson an insane amount of detail. From individual hairs to random fleas that scurry, no piece of detail gets left out. Each scene is beautiful and stands out on their own. The film has a set of top actors in the play so a great movie to watch for sure.
8. Togo
This one is a recent movie. Are you a husky die-hard? The plot is that a musher, Leonard, who adopts Togo, a Siberian husky considered to be weak, and trains him. When Togo leads the 1925 serum run, something the whole town desperately needs, Togo and Leonard become a heroes for Nome, Alaska. The story is full of heart-touching scenes, especially when Togo was a baby. Somehow all these dog-cantered movies seems to have some fantastic acting by everyone involved – no doubting the actors’ acting skills in anyways. It is possible that we love the dogs so much anything else that is tossed in a set that has dog or dogs in them sure gets us excited and glued to our seats. Whether you are husky fan or not, this another Disney movie that has great actors, a great script, great action scenes, beautiful cinematography and visuals, and touching characters that leave a deep impression on your soul. A great family-adventure movie. Definitely watch it.
7. Heart of Dog
A slightly different take with the plot. The movie has a dog at the center of it without having the dog at the center of it. This is actually a documentary but quickly became a widely revered experience from critics and audiences alike. The story explores rather heavy themes of love, death, and most of all, hope. The movie is somewhat heavy with strong emotions, but a very different one compared to all other dog movies in the list. Highly recommended.
6. Lady and the tramp
Another Disney classic. Lady And The Tramp is easily one of the greatest love stories ever told. Period. Are you a Cocker Spaniel lover? The movie centers around a Cocker Spaniel, Lady (name of the character), who suddenly lost the center of attraction position in the family as the family has a new baby. When Lady somehow ends up being on he loose and on the street, she meets, befriended and cared for by a stray mutt, called Tramp. Well, they fall in love. But, their differences and the drama from Lady’s house, puts their romance at risk. This one is an animation but there is also a live-action remake in one prefers to watch but we at alldogs.in prefer the original animation version. Totally recommended.

This movie has some great acting in some beautiful settings and a great music.
4. 101 Dalmatians
Oh boy, another Disney classic. This movie is a love story, set in a family setting and a heinous villain to add to the plot’s gravity. Cruella de Vil, an evil heiress, wants to make a fur coat for herself out of the skins of a hundred and one Dalmatian puppies. She makes an effort to kidnap them by hiring a group of thugs.

Don’t get us wrong but this movie is as tough as it is fun and lovely. Marley & Me is one of the most classic and well-told love stories between a dog and its owner. It's one that will make viewers adore their dogs and hold them a little closer that night. Starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston and a bunch of lovely Labrador Retrievers, this movie is sure to make you smile, laugh and shed a few tears. A must watch if you haven’t yet watched.
2. Lassie Come Home
Quite an old movie but still popular. After Lassie, a Border Collie, is sold to a wealthy family, she embarks on a dangerous adventure and attempts to return to her former owners. The movie centers around the dog’s journey to find their beloved former owners.
This film is one of the most classic ones and well-known dog movies ever made. Again, a must watch movie if you haven’t yet watched.
1. Old Yeller
As perhaps one of the most highly rated dog movies, Old Yeller is a classic that stands the test of time, especially due to the fact it's a Disney film. Honestly, it’s a tough movie to watch. It all starts nicely as the small child falls in love with a stray dog and the child’s elder brother and mother weren’t originally warm to the dog while the father was away. Then there is this outbreak of rabies. Nevertheless, Old Yeller is a coming-of-age story with a love of dogs thrown into the mix, making it a truly wonderful film with full of scenes set in the countryside. Watch it, fall in love with the characters and you are sure to need a whole weekend to recover from it but the movie never is going to leave your heart.
