1. An American Werewolf In London '81
Still my favorite, and it features the best werewolf transformation scene ever.



2. The Howling '81



3. The Company Of Wolves '84



4.Ginger Snaps '00



5. Silver Bullet '85

I agree with all but #3. in place of it I would have 1981's Wolfen



And of course the classic Lon Chaney JR The Wolfman is a given.

Wolfen is excellent, it's definitely in my Top 10

The 80's had the best horror/comedies of all time.

Totally agree on that, the 80's was the decade for horror comedies, and special effects.

American Werewolf in London is a CLASSIC.




The Wolfman was da bomb




Add in the Underworlds(i know its a little of both) and Twilights and I think thats all Ive seen.

I also really enjoyed- the orignal Wolfman with Lon Chaney Jr, Werewolf Of London, The Undying Monster, Mad at the Moon, Paul Naschy's werewolf film franchise.

For good cheesy werewolf fun- Howling III, Monster Dog with Alice Cooper, and Werewolf in a Women's Prison.

And I loved the 80's TV series- Werewolf

An American Werewolf In London, of course
The original Wolfman, natch
(now don't hit me)Teen Wolf
Howling 5?, the one there in the castle
Underworld Evolution

ha! i'm watching that series right now! i've got the whole run on my laptop. not a bad show at all. pretty hardcore 80's though hahaha

and Torg old boy, you forgot Dog Soldiers, absolutely love that movie!


and red_lace, Brotherhood of the Wolf, while an amazing flick and one of my all time favorites, is not a werewolf flick. but bravo for throwing Wolf out there, damned fine flick!

Werewolf was supposed to get released on DVD this year, but it was canceled. Not sure if it was music copyright issues or something else.

that's just ****ing lame! and they wonder why people pirate things

I like the one with Michael J Fox,, other than that,,,the underworld series....

They just don't make enough werewolf movies!!!

I love that you threw Dog Soldiers up. A guy came into my store wearing a tee with the movie cover on it. I told him he was my favourite person of the day That movie was the BOMB!

I was kind of disappointed with The Wolfman. Anthony Hopkins and Emily Blunt were awesome but I just couldn't get passed Benicio Del Toro being in 19th century England. He just didn't fit which really threw me off. Don't get me wrong, he's a great actor, just not fitted for that period.

I did like the Underworlds...and honestly the 3rd one (or prequel) was the best in the series. I loved the whole thing. :bigsmile;

Torgo, you may be my favourite for mentioning Ginger Snaps. I've always been a fan of all 3 of them (#2 not the best but whatever). And it's nice to see some Canadiana represented Those flicks are nearly impossible to find in store around here but I know at least 20 people who own them.

We need more werewolf movies...I them. Heck, my dog is named after a werewolf

What's my top five werewolf movies? Oh, I love this question, and I'll answer it with glee.

1. Werewolf.
2. Werewolf 2.
3. Werewolf III.
4. Wereowlf Four.
5. Werewolf 5.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... LET'S HEAR IT FOR MICK JAGGER AND THE FANTASTIC RO-HOLLING STONES!

OHNE!! PRETTY WOMAN!!!

everybody, SIT!!

BEG!!

GOOD GIRLS.

(Sidney, where is Mr. Pavlov? ... oh, okay.)

OK, EVERYBODY, LISTEN UP! MR. PAVLOV HAS BEEN HELD UP... HE WILL BE HERE IN A HALF AN HOUR OR SO. ...Sidney, get somebody to tell the bell ringer.

Busted! Yeah, was trying to squeeze that in. It's one of my favorite films too, and besides, it has "wolf" in the title. LOL! You're the only one who noticed! Crap. Haha.

Anyhoo, I don't know if these were already mentioned, but I also want to add:



Good old Hammer Horror had to feature. Surprisingly, this was their only foray into the world of the Wolf Man. But it’s a cracker.

Starring the ubiquitous Oliver Reed in his first lead role, and directed by genre stalwart Terence Fisher (The Curse of Frankenstein, The Mummy (1959)), this tale adds an interesting twist – the birth of an unwanted child on Christmas Day curses it to turned into a werewolf. One that can only be cured by love…

The bell tower finale is truly gripping, and Reed really injects pain into the part – showing just what a waste of talent it was when he croaked early.



The Wolf Man is remembered for Lon Chaney Jr.’s striking depiction of inner struggle against flesh eating desires and for its cast of genre favourites including Claude Raines (The Invisible Man) and Bela Lugosi (Dracula). It was also the first lycanthrope film to introduce the concept of forced changing under a full moon, vulnerability to silver and being marked with a pentagram.

I finally watched the new The Wolfman, and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
