I did think of The Thin Man myself, but decided against it because Asta features more prominently in other films such as Shadow of the Thin Man. Anyway seeing as The Thin Man is one of my all time favourites i try and cram it into loads of lists so it can take a break here.

The Artist didn't feature Uggy as much as i thought it would although the pooch was very memorable in a brilliant film which wasn't really about a dog.

Those were just my criteria though.

I think that says more about me than the availability of non-killer animal films though...

I highly recommend Jean-Jacques Annaud's The Bear (1988) It's like a segment of Planet Earth made into a feature length film. Superb.

Sounds good. I will endeavour to check it out.

Hannibal Brooks

This desperately needs a dvd release.

With the added bonus of a lesser-spotted Johanson!

I'm the same with the Thin Man movies, but couldn't think which one featured Asta most, so just went with the first film as it's my favourite.

As for The Artist, it probably isn't a film about an animal, but Uggie is such a delightful pooch in it, that I really wanted to include on my list. Feel free to mentally swap it for either Grizzly Man or Laughing Gravy.

I'll mentally swap it for Laughing Gravy.

I didn't like Grizzly Man as it didn't feature bears enough. I guess the clue is in the title though.

Rogue. Greg McLean. 2007
Alligator. Lewis Teague. 1980
The Birds. Alfred Hitchcock. 1963.
K-9. Rod Daniel. 1989.
Turner and Hooch. Roger Spottiswoode.1989
Snakes On a Plane. David R. Ellis. 2006.
Squirm. Jeff Lieberman. 1976.
Into The Grizzly Maze. David Hackl. 2015
Cat People. Jacques Tourneur. 1942
Phenomena. Dario Argento. 1985.
The Jungle Book (live action, I hate the animated version). John Favreau. 2016.
Arachnophobia. Frank Marshall. 1990.

I considered Dances with Wolves, Monkey Shines and a few others but it's been so long it doesn't seem fair to include them. Ghost and the Darkness in particular I remember really liking but I've not seen it in 20 years or more. I'll have to get a copy.

Ooh ooh A Breed Apart!! Phillipe Mora. 1984. Wish to goodness someone would put this out.

I liked your 'breed apart" post but hating the animated Jungle book is unforgivable.
