Cold weather - lots of dog flicks!!
The chill is in the air, the leaves are beginning to fall and we are expected to have our first frost of the season tonight. That means we’ll be spending more and more time in doors and will be looking for some good movies to watch. There is such an assortment of dog films out there, that there won’t be enough “couch potato weather” to watch them all, but I’ll give you some you should really check out. Most are for full family enjoyment!!
Snow Dogs with Cuba Gooding Jr. is an all around “feel good” flick about a man coming of age and learning life’s lessons while working with a great team of sled dogs. There’s action, beautiful Alaskan scenery and the great acting of Cuba Gooding Jr.
No dog movie watcher can call themselves such without having watched both 101 Dalmations and its sequel, 102 Dalmations. With Glenn Close starring as the villian in these two Disney hits, everyone will be entertained. The dogs are adorable. The plot is entertaining and keeps the attention of both child and adult alike. I am a huge “House” fan and when I realized that Hugh Laurie was one of the “English bad guys” in the original 101 Dalmations, I rented it just to watch him and listen to his Cockney accent!!!
There are many more, but a weekend of dog movies would not be complete without watching the heartwarming tale, “Homeward Bound, An Incredible Tale” This enchanting Disney tale shows the devotion of three family pets (two dogs and a cat) who believe the family they love is in trouble. They work together to get home to insure the safety and well being of those they love.
So get into practice for the winter months ahead and start checking out some of these flicks!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!
