My own personal favorite werewolf movies:

I understand your rule and Teen Wolf exclusion, but how do you feel about I was a Teenage Werewolf?

I haven't seen as many werewolf movies as I should, but out of the ones I have seen these are my favorites:

1. The Wolf Man (1941)
2. The Howling
3. The Curse of the Werewolf
4. An American Werewolf in London
5. The Beast Must Die
6. The Wolfman (2010)

Death lives in the Vault of Horror!

Wolfen isn't a Werewolf move....

1-Howling
2-Howling II
3-Howling V
4-The Wolfman
5-Werewolf of London
6-Silver Bullet
7-The Beast Must Die
8-American Werewolf of London
9-Bad Moon

imo, there have been no truly good movies made about wolfmen/werewolves

in contrast to the many good movies made about vampires






so many movies, so little time

1. Silver Bullet
2. The Howling
3. The Wolfman (1941)
4. Ginger Snaps
5. The Wolfman (2010)

No good Werewolf movies? Think again.

The Company of Wolves
Dog Soldiers
Ginger Snaps
Ginger Snaps Back
The Howling
The Wolfman (remake)
Werewolf: The Beast Among Us
Stephen King’s Silver Bullet

I specifically exclude American Pusswolf In London because it is a werewolf movie for folks who don’t like real werewolf movies. I rank it with Iron Wolf and Project: Metalbeast.

“Vampire” movies are better? Nosferatu is excellent, because it hews to the true vampire lore. All the others ignore the vampire myths. A vampire is a demon inhabiting a corpse. Period. Read Montague Somers’ classic textbook, The Vampire. Vampires do not have sex. They do not breed offspring. When the sun is up, no matter how cloudy the day, THEY CANNOT MOVE. When the Light is ascended, they are frozen. They can’t creep around in the shadows. They are not “weaker” in the daylight (Coppola’s laughable Bram Stoker’s Dracula!). And they stink of corpse rot. NO ONE wants to get fucked by a vampire, and “half-vampires” (Blade, Bloodrayne) are a joke. But, hey, why let the inconvenient facts of legend get in the way of a good sex, I mean vampire, story? Oh! The PENETRATION! Oh! The overwhelming SEDUCTION! Oh! Gimme a fucking break. Also, vamps have no memory of their host corpse’s life, and they DO NOT fall in love. They have no feelings at all! The most ridiculous example of the contradiction between lore and Hollywood is in Van Helsing, where Dracula says, “I feel NOTHING . . . [but] I am
AT WAR WITH THE WORLD!” Admittedly, Stephen Somers films are chockablock with stupidity, but entities that feel nothing do not go to war.

Werewolf movies hew much more faithfully to the folklore, see Somers’ The Werewolf. The greatest discrepancy between lore and Hollywood is that lore states a transformed lycanthrope is indistinguishable from a huge wolf of the same size as the afflicted human. FX limitations in the old days led to an anthropomorphic werewolf. We have no such limits today. And wolves can fuck, procreate and create relationships.

Werewolves are everything that vampires are not.
