1650 users here now
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

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.
Alien³
Space balls although technically it's a mog!
He's his own best friend.
I am legend.
And, if you're feeling brave, the original Star Wars trilogy
The Wizard of Oz, maybe? Toto is important, and moves the plot, but then, maybe he's just a MacGuffin.
The Mask
Supergirl
Air Bud is a dog movie on the surface, but has a surpisingly well done underlying story of a boy struggling with the loss of his father.
Cujo
"Good Boy". Its a pretty basic haunted house movie, from the perspective of a dog.
Finch
Post apocalyptic world with Tom Hanks, his dog and a robot.
A Boy and His Dog?
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
I know it's kinda unrelated,but man my wife had me watch A Dog's Purpose... Dude I cried kike 6 times. Shit is vicious.
Isle of Dogs. Not a dog movie but a coming of age with a lot of dogs.
Scooby Doo
Funny Farm, I Am Legend, The Outlaw Josey Wales
Would Wolf Children count? It’s about a single mum raising werewolf pups. Anime film.
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.
Prey.
Iron Will
Toy Story
Dog Soldiers
The Shaggy Dog?
Quigley (2003)
Down Under?
no that's from the 80s
So, like some sort of dog, not dog draft?
