[TOMT] 90s movie about a boy and his dog that features a nightmare scene with a female coach
Okay, I already posted this a few days ago. I wanted to correct some information I misremembered. It wasn't a drill sargent, but a female coach who was yelling at the boy in his nightmare.
I remember seeing a movie over 30 years ago as a kid where this kid has a nightmare where he's being yelled at by an over the top female coach. Its not from Bingo. I'm not sure if the kid gets bullied in this movie, I think he does. Almost 90% of all movies featuring a boy and his dog somehow has bullies involved and most of the time they get their comeuppances or reform. Does anyone know what movie I'm talking about?
in the movie, the kid is mean to the dog, but later warms up to him and becomes nicer. I've only seen this once when I was about 8 years old when I rented it from a local video store.
The context to the dream probably has something to do with the kid in gym class and a mean coach, if memory serves right.
I'm very aware that its not any of these movies: Homeward Bound, Homeward Bound II, Far From Home, Beethoven, Beethoven 2nd, Fluke, Air Bud, Top Dog, Bingo, or Shiloh. I'm familiar with Homeward Bound and its sequel, Beethoven and its first sequel, and Fluke. Even seen either Shiloh or Far From Home and one of those movies has a very similar ending to Homeward Bound where the dog makes his way back home after being lost for days and the kid was heartbroken until he shows up at the end. I think that movie was Far From Home.
Update: Just saw Bingo and I thought that was the movie, but it wasn't. A nightmare scene happens but there's no female coach yelling at the kid. The nightmare was actually about the dog.
Update 2: I'm currently watching Shiloh and I don't think its that movie either because the kid is actually nice to the dog. His original owner is a middle aged man who very mean to him.
