Lassie Come Home

The original adventure of a boy and his dog is considered by many as the best. Young Roddy McDowall (The Planet of the Apes, The Poseidon Adventure) stars as a boy whose poor family is forced to sell their beloved collie, Lassie. After he's reluctantly taken away, the loyal dog embarks on a treacherous cross-country adventure to be reunited with McDowall.

This is the original Oscar-nominated movie that launched two sequels and a popular TV series. Inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry and AFI recently selected Lassie as one of the 50 Greatest Heroes of all time.
