Although the beautiful brindle Dutch Shepherd, or Hollandse Herder, can be seen in some movies, they have yet to find a major starring role. DS enthusiasts will also enjoy the mixed-breed Little Bear in First Dog (2010) and The Amazing Wizard of Paws (2015).
The title links will take you to Amazon movie pages (Reel Dogs earns a referral fee at no cost to you) or, for rarer titles, alternative sources for the films.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua * Year: 2008 * Country: Mexico/US * Breed content: Low
A Dutchie can be seen among the police dogs who Delgado goes to visit. But don’t blink. Most of the K-9s are GSDs.

Case 39 * Year: 2009 * Country: Canada/US * Breed content: See note
Glimpse of a black long-coat GSD and other dogs in the parking garage. Looks like DSs, but hard to tell in the dark.

Django Unchained * Year: 2012 * Country: US * Breed content: Low

An extraordinary film in which about 250 dogs were employed.
Robinson Crusoe * Year: 1954 * Country: Mexico/US * Breed content: See note
Costarring canine “Rex” is the image of a Dutch Shepherd, although the breed was nearly extinct at the time this film was made and the saddle-back marking points to a GSD-type mixed-breed.
