What's your favorite DOG movie or two?

I saw this list online, although it doesn't include everything:

https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-dog-movies-ranked-by-tomatometer/

My all time favorite is #6 Best in Show, but I'll need to watch Old Yeller, as I don't remember much about it. Will watch #3 and #4. I really like Wallace and Gromit The Wrong Trousers and named my dog after Gromit, but it's more of a charming British claymation more than a dog movie. There's a lot of interesting titles in that list, although I don't agree with the ranking.

Every scene in Best in Show is great, like Caddyshack. The more times you see it, the funnier it gets.

K-9, Jerry Lee was the greatest, but of course I’m partial to German Shepherds

Our family pet, a Shepherd, saved my life when I was 9 months old.

Basically, any movie featuring Parker Posey would win my vote, thanks.

Toss in any dog that suits your fancy.

The Art of Racing in the Rain. Strangely, I thought this movie was about racing in the rain. Spoiler: It's a dog movie.

Best in show gets my vote too. Starts out funny and goes straight up from there.

Best in Show is a classic, and Fred Willard is just hilarious...one of my favorite comedy flicks. I can see why folks in the show dog world might not find it very funny though...

For a real tear-jerker of a dog film, there's always A Dog's Way Home. Totally predictable with a happy ending and all, but it can be entertaining too. Great for a family movie night if you have young kids.

The Shaggy Dog and the Shaggy DA. Both have such great 1950s cars that even as a kid I noticed them. The stories are silly enough that kids and their dads can both enjoy them.

Oh wait . . . This one is a classic. Not a movie but funny as all hell.
