Agreed, especially as Jenny Agutter had a nude scene in it.

No Werewolf movie list is legitimate without “Teen Wolf”!

I saw that one in the theatre, and it was a good 'un. The scene where they're walking through the Yorkshire moors at night brought lots of screams from the audience.

Yep, she was a hot nurse.

Brotherhood of the Wolf was really good too. Mark Dacascos played an Indian in France who was a werewolf with some martial arts skills.

Teen Wolf in my opinion was the greatest werewolf movie. It had action, comedy, drama, suspense and romance. What more could you ask in a movie.

Dog Soldiers wasn’t necessarily a “great” movie, but it was a lot of FUN!

"Come on, Dave. Be serious."

Hilarious and kinda scary at the same time.

Sure the 1941 version was campy and the sets were almost small enough to fit on a Broadway stage but...

It had Maria Ouspenskaya's lament “...as the rain enters the soil, as the river enters the sea, so are tears that surround your predestined end...”

It had that great camera shot in church when Larry Talbot hesitates taking his seat.

It had that great line by Claude Rains about amateur astronomy...”when it comes to the Heavens there is only one professional.”

It had Bela Lugosi is a short but perfect role as the gypsy fortune teller with his accent in full bloom.

And it had the anguish of Lon Chaney Jr. struggling when his breakdown.
