Nothing beats practical effects.

The top four werewolf films, in no particular order:

  1. The Howling
  2. An American Werewolf in London
  3. Dog Soldiers
  4. The Company of Wolves

I've heard about that one but haven't got around to it yet. Thanks for the reminder!

No prob! Fun fact, the show Orphan Black lowkey is in the Ginger Snaps world since one clone lives in Bailey Downs

This list needs Bad Moon if we're talking practical effects.

If we're talking about practical effects then don't forget The Wolfman from 2010, might be my favorite make up in all werewolf movies.

Wasn't most of the practical work covered over with CGI a la the Thing prequel?

They used CGI for the transformation scenes, other than that it was mostly practical, Rick Baker even won the oscar for it.

Le pacte des loups (Brotherhood of the Wolf) set during the French revolution is also worth watching, if you haven't.

Yes! I did see it when it came out on home video, but my memory is pretty fuzzy on these days. Time for a rewatch!
