BEETHOVEN & BEETHOVEN'S 2ND (1992 & 1993)
John Hughes must love dogs. Before 101 Dalmatians the screenwriter (best known for his Brat Pack movies) penned this tale about a St. Bernard under the pseudonym 'Edmond Dantes.' While the original deserves its own place in the howl of fame, Beethoven's 2nd wins best in show for featuring four roly-poly puppies. There's nothing quite as adorable as watching puppies outwit really, really stupid bad guys.
