Putting together a list of movies for movie nights. Examples include: How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Nightmare Before Christmas, Up, and John Wick.
- I Am Legend
- A Boy and His Dog
- The Plague Dogs
- Mad Max: The Road Warrior
- Cujo
Prey.
Iron Will
The Wizard of Oz, maybe? Toto is important, and moves the plot, but then, maybe he’s just a MacGuffin.
Quigley (2003)
Down Under?
Cujo
Finch
Post apocalyptic world with Tom Hanks, his dog and a robot.
Space balls although technically it’s a mog!
He’s his own best friend.
Dogville.
Or maybe I misunderstood the question, and/or the movie.
The dog is a drawing on the ground. It has a very small part, yet the dog won an award in Cannes for the movie.
“Good Boy”. Its a pretty basic haunted house movie, from the perspective of a dog.
Toy Story
Dog Soldiers
Is ‘guy dies and is reincarnated into a purgatory-like existence of a sapient dog that lives with but cannot communicate with his family’ a dog movie that’s not a dog movie? Because if so, Fluke. (It is very poorly reviewed)
Don’t forget his best friend (or business partner?) moves in and starts dating your ex wife and raising your kids
Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy
The original filmed and edited version didn’t have Baxter coming back after the Jack Black scene, and test audiences hated it so much that they want back to film a new ending that unexpectedly brought Baxter back for that pivotal scene.
I am legend.
And, if you’re feeling brave, the original Star Wars trilogy
Supergirl
