My favorite is still 'American Werewolf in London,' followed by 'The Howling' and (don't laugh) 'Cursed,' which was far better than the 'Ginger Snaps' series. |

| Jay Arnold | 31 Oct 2006 2:06 p.m. PST |
I found "An American Werewolf in Paris" to be amusing as well. "Brotherhood of the Wolf" is good for a scare and kick-ass martial arts, to boot. |

I haven't seen "The Brotherhood of the Wolf", but it looked neat at the time. Otherwise, my vote is for "Teenwolf". |
| DJCoaltrain | 31 Oct 2006 2:15 p.m. PST |
"Abbot and Costello meet Dracula" |
| Hey You | 31 Oct 2006 2:16 p.m. PST |
The Howling gets my top vote, with a very thin margin to my 2nd vote for An American Werewolf in London. While I am a fan of Underworld, I place that movie in the Vampire series. |
| Plynkes | 31 Oct 2006 2:17 p.m. PST |
A bunch of werewolf pictures without Jenny Agutter vs. a werewolf picture with Jenny Agutter? That's not a fair fight. There's only one answer. |

An American Werewolf in London
Dog Soldiers
The Howling I agree that Underworld (both of which I still watch on DVD!)is more of a vampire film. |
| Alxbates | 31 Oct 2006 2:28 p.m. PST |
For my favorite werewolf movie it's a coin toss between American Werewolf in London and the Howling. But I also enjoyed Howling 3 (with the marsupial werewolves), loved all three Ginger Snaps movies, and heck, I even thought the Underworld movies were fun if not necessarily very good. I love Brotherhood of the Wolf, but I wouldn't call it a werewolf movie. Dog Soldiers was decent, better than I expected. Am I the only one who liked the Howling part 3? |
| CPT Jake | 31 Oct 2006 2:39 p.m. PST |
Alxbates, you may be the only person who watched Howling part 3… Jake |
| Topkick890 | 31 Oct 2006 2:45 p.m. PST |
Wolfman with Lon Chaney Jr. Love the classics and the gypsy woman alone makes the movie a must see. |
| rmaker | 31 Oct 2006 2:46 p.m. PST |
I'm with sapper joe. "The Wolf Man". Even a man who's pure of heart
And says his prayers at night,
Can become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms,
And the autumn moon burns bright. |

It's a toss-up between Dog Soldiers and An American Werewolf in London for me. |
| TheRymer | 31 Oct 2006 3:02 p.m. PST |
It has to be Dog Soldiers, if you haven't seen it's highly recommended. I just read about this film that they are making near where I live link I hope it turns out as good as Dog Soldiers. |

Ginger snaps. Then Ginger snaps 2. Then Dog Soldiers. |
| Streitax | 31 Oct 2006 3:26 p.m. PST |
Oliver Reed did one set in Spain. I really liked that one, especially as we had just moved to France, lived in an large old house in a small village and had to walk about a mile home through the countryside after seeing the movie. And, of course, it's just a hop, skip and lope from Spain. Brotherhood of the Wolf was fabulous and AWL was a lot of fun too. |
| mweaver | 31 Oct 2006 3:43 p.m. PST |
imdb.com/title/tt0054777 Curse of the Werewilf is the film you are talking about, I think, Streitax. Not previously familiar with it – will have to look for it. For me, my favorite is probably Dog Soldiers (Arf!). Then American Werewolf in London. |
| David Moody | 31 Oct 2006 3:58 p.m. PST |
Brotherhood of the Wolf is definitely my favorite of the films mentioned here, but it's not technically a werewolf movie. (And one of only 3 French films that I can stand… the others being Cyrano… the best reason ever to learn French, and Amelie.) For actual werewolf movies, I'd have to go with The Howling II by the narrowest of margins over An American Werewolf in London and then the original The Howling. |
| cfuzwuz | 31 Oct 2006 4:08 p.m. PST |
Though not my favorite, I liked BAD MOON. |
| Sailor Steve | 31 Oct 2006 4:26 p.m. PST |
An American Werewolf In London. Anything with Jenny Agutter gets my vote. A long time ago I saw the old British movie "The Werewolf Of London", but I don't remember anything about it. |
| Redroom | 31 Oct 2006 5:51 p.m. PST |
Silver Bullett was my favorite followed by AN American Werewolf in London. |

I always liked an offbeat one called something like A Company of Wolves. |
| Cacique Caribe | 31 Oct 2006 7:23 p.m. PST |
Watching it right now. I like the movie. Price made some good cheap movies. Thanks, John |
| Space Monkey | 31 Oct 2006 7:23 p.m. PST |
The Howling is probably my favorite…
then American Werewolf In London, Werewolf Of London, Dog Soldiers… Curse Of The Werewolf… House Of Frankenstein… the Ginger Snap movies… I also really like those old Paul Naschy El Hombre Lobo movies… Naschy's wolfman just seemed so crazed! |
| aecurtis | 31 Oct 2006 7:24 p.m. PST |
"The Company of Wolves" is underappreciated, but I have to vote for "Ladyhawke". Allen |

I like Brotherhood of the Wolf a lot as well, but I don't consider it a werewolf movie. Hadn't thought about Ladyhawk being a werewolf movie, but I guess it is. Sort of. I put Dog Soldiers on tonight while on the exercise bike. |
| mweaver | 31 Oct 2006 8:09 p.m. PST |
You know, until I was just watching Dog Soldiers a little while ago, I hadn't realized tht Pvt. Cooper is played by Lucius Vorenus. |
| Chogokin | 31 Oct 2006 9:43 p.m. PST |
This is more of a Wendigo movie than a Werewolf movie, but Ravenous is pretty good… |
| Metallion | 31 Oct 2006 10:43 p.m. PST |
Ginger Snaps is my favorite followed closely by Dog Soldiers |

Dog oldiers and The Brotherhood of the Wolf for me |

Dog Soldiers, Curse of the Werewolf and The Howling. |

An American Werewolf is both funny and frightening, contains what is still far and away the best transformation scene ever, and has a pub called the "Slaughtered Lamb". It'd take a lot to beat that. But I also like The Company of Wolves (literate, playful); The Howling (for its parody and farce); Dog Soldiers (a good example of an action/horror blend); Ginger Snaps (for being a good metaphor for adolescence); and The Curse of the Werewolf (for Oliver Reed's performance). As for Wolf, I have a lot of sympathy with the film critic Barry Norman's opinion that the final shot of Michelle Pfeiffer's face is a good enough reason to have invented cinema. |
| Steve Flanagan | 01 Nov 2006 8:56 a.m. PST |
In contrast, The Wolf Man is pretty awful. I'm not sure which is harder to believe: that Lon Chaney Jnr's character is Claude Rains's son (his booze-aged features make him look older than his "dad"); that he is Welsh; or that anyone involved in the production mistook Chaney for an actor. Curt Siodmak claimed that his script for The Wolf Man invented several aspects of werewolf lore that are now generally accepted, including silver bullets and transformation at the full moon. But the latter, at least, is little to be proud of – the need to adhere to the lunar calendar can hobble and deform stories. |
| combatpainter | 01 Nov 2006 1:03 p.m. PST |
What about Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein. The werewolf plays a major role in the movie. I like that one. |
| The Lost Soul | 01 Nov 2006 5:35 p.m. PST |
I'm surprised no one mentioned "The Howling II--Your Sister is a Werewolf", starring a terminally embarrassed Christopher Lee as the head good guy, whose sister, played by the beauteous Sybil Danning, has a 3-way with her two main assistants, and sheds her clothing in 1 mighty shuck (which they repeat 10 times during the closing credits). It is truly, truly awful--a wonderous thing to behold. |
| Space Monkey | 01 Nov 2006 9:44 p.m. PST |
Is Howling II the one with the werewolf orgy? I seem to remember Sybil Danning's transformation included having six fur-covered breasts… or maybe I dreamed that bit… |
| Guinny | 02 Nov 2006 6:35 a.m. PST |
My favourite Werewolf movie has to be Dog Soldiers. Unfortunately, the best Werewolves I've seen are in one of the worst movies I've ever seen – Van Helsing. |
| Sailor Steve | 05 Nov 2006 3:48 p.m. PST |
Thanks to all above who mentioned The Company Of Wolves; I had forgotten all about this great little movie. Loads of fun. |
| malamute | 06 Nov 2006 10:36 a.m. PST |
What is Silver Bullet like? I saw it for sale in HMV last weekend and was wondering. Was it a mini series in the USA? |
