Werewolf movies - from best to worst
I included only films I have watched (and I have not looked for watching more and more films about werewolves, as I have done for other genres and themes). There are even less good films about werewolves than about vampires (off course there are some always mentioned films that have quite good critics but I have not watched). Any film in which there is at least one werewolf has been considered a werewolf movie in the list.
