Werewolf Films
Werewolves are by for the most interesting as well as most badass of all monsters (this is obviously an opinion), but I am completely dissappointed in a majority of werewolf movies and/or literature, does anyone have any recomendations, or a list of movies that are worth a damn?

Ace? is that ace as in the highest card, or ace as in the lowest card, cause depending on the game it could be either, and if you go by bastardized rhyming slang than ace can be ass.
Ginger Snaps is a favourite of mine, so another vote for it, also the sequel is worth the look too.
Dog Soldiers isn't my favourite from Neil Marshall but worth the look too.
Apart from the obvious I can't think of any other memorable ones...
most have been completely rubbish(Van Helsing, Skinwalkers and Cursed to name a few)...

Most of the time I have to suffice with barely up to par special effects and truely shit stories, I did enjoy Bad Moon based on the book Thor, the original american werewolf was good, but why needed to bring it to paris and with rancid dog like beasts was ridiculous. I'll have to check out the ginger snaps movies, i've seen about five minutes of dog soldiers and it seemed like a SciFi channel original movie that was more about how many guns the soldiers can fire, but I suppose I should watchthe whole thing before I go spouting off.
Dog Soldiers is my favourite werewolf flick (and it appears I'm not alone) but you can't go wrong with An American Werewolf In London (or Paris, yes I like it).

I probably would have liked American Werewolf in Paris better if it had gone by another name, I was expecting something on par with London, which story wise it wasn't. My main problem with werewolf movies is that they seem to forget about story, characters are unbelieveable, situations aren't original, there is a fantasy writer (or artist, i can't remember which or even the guys name) that says when you create deal in fantastic situations just as monsters and such, you have to be even more realisitc, because otherwise it is just a mad man rambling and it doesn't make any sense.
An American Werewolf in Paris couldn't have gone by another name because its story followed London too much. I enjoyed it, it was funny. I liked how it added another undead victim to the mix. His friend is trying to push him into killing the werewolf that killed him, and the woman is trying to get him killed.
I don't remember much about Bad Moon, but I remember not liking it.
Some favorites of mine:
The Howling
AWIL
Dog Soldiers
Ginger Snaps 1&2 (though seeing the prequel doesn't hurt)
Wolf (Jack Nicholson, unsung werewolf gem IMO)
The Wolf Man (see Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man and Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein while you're at it)
Underworld Trilogy
Teen Wolf (good corny '80s teen comedy, sequel sucks though)
The Monster Squad
Cursed (it's good if you've seen The Wolf Man, Wolf, AWIL, as they are referenced)
The only two worth mentioning in my book are, Dog Soldiers and American Werewolf in London. I did like the Ginger Snap movies but it's very hard for me to consider them Werewolf movies. The problem with Werewolf movies is that you need a good script as well as incredible effects. It generally seems that we only get one or the other.
