BS: Best and Worst Werewolf flick!

And there have been plenty...from the serious to the completely ridiculous and every shade in between. Werewolves are interesting characters. They can have a strong sexual component (as in "The Howling" series) or they can just go for the jugular, period. Then there are the dorky teen werewolves on campus if you really have time to kill.

What's your choice for best and worst of these?

Worst = 'I was a Teenage Werewolf' with Michael Landon - better known as 'Pa' in 'Little House on the Prairie'.... truly dire. 'Teen Wolf' was not much better.

Best.... transformation still has to be 'American Werewolf in London'. Still can't listen to 'Bad moon rising' without the desire to apologise to Jack for calling him a meatloaf.

Sexiest = Hugh Jackman as he turns werewolf in 'Van Helsing'.

How did the American werewolf in London meet his end? I can't recall. I do remember him bursting out of a door that was being held shut by a whole bunch of British "bobbies".

He was shot by the SAS in an alley as he tried to attack Jenny Agutter... don't blame him. I want to rip her face off too.

It wasn't her face I wanted to rip off...


Actually AWIL is my nearly my favourite.
I liked (when i was a lot younger Thriller)
a special mention is geven for "Ginger" I havn't seen part three yet'
and I really enjoyed Jack Nicholson in Wolf The Man was born to play the part and recently Cursed was very enjoyable ...

but the best for me so far is Dog Soldiers

My favourite line is well I cant repeat it 'cos if you see the film - well I don't want to spoil it

although I have to repeat I really really like AWIL *looks like it's going be tonight*
great folk pub= "Ey lad its tonights folk music session at "the slaughtered lamb"

AWIL had forgotten to renew his 'silver bullet' policy. Accordingly, those SAS bastards were able to gun him down with ordinary bullets. Shameful. They'd never take me like that.

LTS agree with your choices but am rather fonder of Jenny than you.

Oh, by far the best one was Abbot & Costello meet the Wolfman. It had everything! Lon Chaney, JR at his best and hairiest, Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula (commmmmmmmmmmmme here!), and Boris Karloff as Frankenstein (or was that as John Kerry) all in one flick together.

Aaaaaa--bbbbbbotttttt!

Never seen it. Sounds like a trip, though. I wonder if Laurel & Hardy ever met the Wolfman?

AMIL without a doubt , still like the little bit at the start congratulating Charles & Di on their wedding........ always remebered the movie walking trought the tube corridors in London late at night......... and I still have that urge to moan & deep breathe through the piano riff when we sing Moondance!! sounds like it should be part of the tune.

the 2nd AMIParis just didn't have the same appeal

always had a soft spot for the "Howling" too
