I began to think of my favorite films dealing with the subject and would like to see what other posters on here choose for their favorites. My personal picks include: THE WOLF MAN(1941), CRY OF THE WEREWOLF(1944), THE WEREWOLF(1956), CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF(1961), WEREWOLF SHADOW(1972), WEREWOLF WOMAN(1975), THE HOWLING(1981),WOLF(1994), GINGER SNAPS(2000) and UNDERWORLD(2003).

I'm not too big on THE UNDYING MONSTER, there are moments where you can see clearly that the script "borrows" from THE WOLF MAN. FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN has some of the best werewolf stuff ever in a horror film, it's only shadowed by sharing the limelight with the Monster that keeps it from being "the" all-time werewolf classic( although it is classic in it's own right!)Even though it is far from being a masterpiece, I have come to like CURSED(2005) for a modern werewolf film. I know that this film originally had a different cast and Wes Craven was far from pleased with the final product, however, it still has some moments.

Yeah, I agree. I was pretty disappointed when I finally got to see COTW for the first time...how could such a great looking werewolf be in such a...just ok movie. As far as best looking werewolf, I would rank Oliver Reed's right below Chaney Jr.'s...but it's close. Best looking werewolves: 1. Chaney Jr. - Wolfman 2. Oliver Reed - COtW 3. Michael Landon - IWaTW My fave werewolf flicks: Wolfman Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman The Howling Werewolf of London I Was a Teenage Werewolf

Not close for me, I'd put Reed in Ashton's make-up well above Chaney Jr in Pierce's make-up. A werewolf should look ferocious as far as I'm concerned and the Chaney Jr. Wolf Man has just never struck me that way. Hell, I find the make up on David Rintoul in Tyburn's THE LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLF superior to Chaney Jr as well, for the same reason. Cheers, Charles Sherlock Holmes in Film, Books and Media

Oy vey, what a mess. I have trouble believing that Craven, hit-or-miss as he can be, was behind this turd (altho I'm aware that there was a lot of post-production tampering). The CGI werewolf effects are so lousy that they look like they belong in a storyboard, not a finished film.

No doubt. They look like the very first CGI that came out in movies back in the 80's. I was shocked that a modern, high profile movie like Cursed could have such sub-standard CGI. "Truth hurts.

(05/16/08 1:27 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Glad to see WOLF made at least a couple lists. I watched it again the other night, back-to-back with one of the other greats, THE HOWLING. WOLF's make-up is of the effective "less is more" type, like WEREWOLF OF LONDON. I like the structure, atmosphere and most of the cast of THE UNDYING MONSTER, too. One of the dullest werewolf movies would have to be that one made in Texas, I think in the early 80s, called WOLFMAN (not to be confused, of course with THE Wolf Man). Most of the HOWLING sequels (starting with HOWLING II) were pretty lousy as well.
