Count me as a big fan of An American Werewolf in London! I enjoyed that more immensely than The Howling.
David Naughton, Griffin Dunne, and the rest of the cast are great in this one! It's a more modern variation on the Lon Chaney Jr. version, but with a more three-dimensional lead, whose predicament is both hilariously tounge-in-cheek and ominously dark at the same time. Plus, Rick Baker's transformation scene is absolutely classic! Naughton's painful transformation into the werewolf holds up, even in today's CG-driven age.
