So, dogs are great, and movies are fun. So naturally, dog movies are thebomb.com. There are dozens of dog movies, some that are funny, some that are dramatic, some that are sad, and some that did not make our cut but are still great dog movies.
101 Dalmatians
We are starting off with a classic! If you haven’t seen this one yet, you are past overdue for a movie night with you pup. This 1961 film is a Disney classic. In it, Pongo and Perdita are parents to 15 Dalmatians, and love their owners, Roger and Anita. But then comes in the infamous character, Cruela De Vil who wants to turn these dogs into fur coats. Pure evil! If you have a Dalmatian and haven’t seen this movie, this is your order to watch it asap.

This date night perfect flick may have been the reason you have tried the age old spaghetti trick.

Marley & Me
You can’t help but smile and laugh throughout this movie! Marley’s disobedience and antics are fun to watch and laugh at, but also makes you feel quite bad for Marley’s owners. But, you’ll see how all this puppy trouble brings the family together. You’ll probably feel thankful your pup isn’t quite as crazy as Marley and love your own dog even more!
