Thanks @archive.org for the honorable mention! Ellwood Hoffmann travelled the US, filming as he went, and showed his home movies to clubs with added improvised ‘humorous narration’. This video takes that intent and runs with it, using dialogue from early talkies to construct a new narration.

I would be remiss to not mention my own dog appearing in an upcoming film of mine (here in the grading suite!)

Last and slightly ignominously, this colossal Great Dane in THE OTHER WOMAN bought life to an otherwise pretty heartless film.

AFAIK unnamed dog being bothered by Anna Paquin in THE PIANO is a very sweet baby

This astonishing puppy outshines one of the most iconic lead actors ever in ANATOMY OF A MURDER, stealing multiple scenes.

Falkor in synthwave-slap THE NEVERENDING STORY is arguably the biggest and scariest dog on the list.

Dogpool, of course, took the world by storm in a big victory for ugly dogs. Best bit of DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE.

Stella in KENSUKE’S KINGDOM is beautifully animated with very accurate body language for a border collie, and does a great job keeping this selfish kid company.

This cat appears in a single shot of FRANCES HA. Impactful.

Pongo and Perdita in the very strange live action 101 DALMATIANS. Unsurprisingly very good dog content in this.

Lovely orange cat in LOVE LIES BLEEDING. This movie, truly all about the pussy.

Famous dog actor Jed (from The Thing!) does naturally excellent work in THE JOURNEY OF NATTY GANN.

Unnamed small dog in LA CHIMERA. Basically not important to the plot - amazing movie, bad role for dog. Nice bow though.

This cat takes all the credit for ARGYLLE. Nice face. Squishy.

Ambrosius, steed of Sir Didymus, in LABYRINTH. Sometimes real, sometimes a puppet (aren’t we all?). Very good boy either way.

Rambo, arguably a villain of MANNEQUIN, nonetheless extremely relatable. Good screentime, castable (character actor).

PRISCILLA. True to life (she had several dogs). This delicate little white dog fits perfectly into Coppola’s vision. Not enough plot focus on the dog

Started off string with Mr Linguini in QUIZ LADY. As an owner of an old pug, this spoke to me. Very important to plot and key focus of multiple highlights of the film. Writer Jen D’Angelo also owns a dog so written from the heart.

My favourite dogs I saw in films this year. For clarity’s sake, this includes any animals, even if featured only for a moment, real or fake.

“it’s a wonderful life” (1946) remains the best christmas film about the importance of mutual aid during the decline of capitalism.
george bailey experiences the wonder of life and shares it by running through the town. in this photo he’s outside the “you are now in bedford falls” sign filled with glee in the 1946 film “it’s a wonderful life”

this story was closely inspired by the death of my brother in 2019, but i was supported by a cast and crew that contributed their own experiences too. working with them was an incredible experience.

When someone dies, what do you do with the memory of them? That's the central question of my new film, PERSONAL EFFECTS, which just launched online.
