There are a ton of dog movies out there. Some are good and some are bad. Thing is whenever I see one I seem to always think of this 70s classic. Recently I revisited it for the first time in probably 30 years and I really did enjoy it. If you have any younger kids who love animals or dogs in particular you might have some real fans of this film.
It is really the story of Benji a stray dog who had two kids (Allen Fiuzat and Cynthia Smith) want him as their pet, but their father (Peter Breck) will not see to that happening. The two children are kidnapped, but Benji is on the case to try and alert the humans.
Even if you love dogs give this classic a shot as a smile should be on your face while watching it. One thing though is this film just screams the 70s, so unfortunately it can't be seen as a very modern look at things, but if you digest that you can have some fun with this film. Country legend Charlie Rich belts out the main song to the movie. Also starring Frances Bavier who has a white cat Benji loves to chase.
This box office smash lead to five sequels and a reboot in 2018.
