My faves would be:
4. Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban - For as short as the beast actually made an appearance, it was probably one of the best handlings of a man-wolf since An American Werewolf In London. What is it with these limey's that seem to make 'em respect this under-used mythical hybrid more than anyone else? Is it the warm Guiness or sumthin?
3. I Was A Teen-Age Werewolf - With all due respect to Mr. Michael J. Fox, this is how a teen-wolf should be depicted.
2. An American Werewolf In London - Not only was this guy a gosh-honest werewolf, but also, he wanted to be a Pepper too ( Sorry kids. I know that the majority of you most likely won't understand that comment, b'cuz it's before your time. Look it up on youtube if you don't wanna be left in the dark.
And the dark, by the way, is where werewolves like dwell).
1. Wolfman - Just a plain ol' classic, this one is right there. I'm am a Huge fan of the original black & white Universal Monster series of way back in the day. Any datedness from these original gangstas of horror seemed to be fade with the integrity of the energy that was captured in the filming. I'm really looking forward to what they're gonna do with the the Benicio Del Toro adaptation. I was really glad that they didn't get him to look like the more wolf than man make-up that has become the standard for today. I still think that the modern look is cool an' all, but it doesn't need to be limited to one style. Despite the push that Hollywood has given movies like these as just empty escapist fare, the reality is, on a integral level, they're still an artform & thus should never be limited by any type of boxed labels.
