Dog Movies

We all love a good movie that includes man’s best friend, and all  of a dogs’ good qualities. Indeed, the bond between man and dog will surely tug on your heartstrings (unless you’re watching Cujo).

We don’t have a subjective list per se, but would rather let the numbers do the talking. Keep in mind the figures are not adjusted for inflation, and include domestic box office reciepts only. This gives us an indication of how many people actually made an effort to see the movie. The total worldwide receipts are way higher for a lot of these franchises.
