What do you feel are the best and/or werewolf movies?

Some I can think of are the following:

Interview with a vampire, Queen of the damned, American Werewolf in Paris/London, Underworld, Wolf, John Carpenters Vampires, Lost boys, Bram Strokers Dracula and Blade I & II.

BuddyHawks

My vote goes to the Blade movies. Snipes is such a bad ass.
Interview with the Vampire...I loved the book, didn't like the movie.
Underworld was fun to watch, but I didn't get into it very much.

My only problem with the blade movies are the vampires were far to week. I prefer vampires to be bad ass and not foiled by a silver for poking them in the hand.

BuddyHawks

Such as in Interview..i agree with you (I'm a fan of the vampire)

Also Vimpire Hunter D is a good vampire anime movie, and Hellsing is a well made short series (13 episodes) about vampires as well.

Watched both of those recently, good stuff.


I saw a vampire movie a while ago that stared Adrian Paul (the highlander) but i don't recall what it was called. It was a fairly good movie. Adrian Paul was a vampire cop working with other cops to try and stop some bad vampires.

BogeyX

i like both Underwold and Interview with a vampire. It´s hard to say which ones the best.

Plan9Senior

The Lost Boys would have to be my favorite.

Sparhawk

The first Blade.

But I'm about to pop in The Lost Boys right now

Halx

Please don't say Underworld. Please!

That movie was more about shooting guns in incomprehendable fight scenes than the actual lore of vampirism. Horrible movie.

My vote goes to Interview.

American Werewolf in london(paris sucks)
The Howling
Waxwork
Monster Squad
The Wolf Man
Werewolf of London
Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman

Dog Soldiers


Vampires:

supposedly Ginger Snaps(werewolves) and Near dark/Martin(vampires) are good but I haven't seen either.

Psivage

I do believe it was called the Breed, it was good. I was surprised that I enjoyed.

diergray

Was Silver Bullet the one with the kid in a wheel chair?

Also, Omega Man could be listed under Vampire movies.

Queen of the Damned....enough said!

But I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula right now, and I'm not quite sure which version of the movie I should watch when I'm done with it???

Near dark kicks ass on principal, and in concept, and has some kick ass scenes(ok, its filed with em) but the cure for vampirism is lame, and so that drags it down.

I've heard that ginger snaps rocks

yes it silver bullet has the kid in the wheelchair(corey haim),gary busey, and Everett McGill as the priest.

Jadey

I though Underworld was horrible. I was sooo disappointed in that movie. Man, the things they could have done with that story. Oh well.

I'm a big fan of the Bela Lugosi Dracula (1946?). Also, I think if you could take the Renfield from that movie and put it in the more recent version with Keanu Reeves you'd have a kick ass movie.

Buddyhawks, good call with Vampire Hunter D.

But my favorite is Lost Boys. How can you go wrong with both Cory's in a vampire movie?

MazdaspeedZOOM

I still like Bram Strokers, the newer one, even though it does have Keanu Reeves, who isn't the greatest of serious actors, but he does a good job and the story is excellent. I like vampire movies that stay more towards realism of there species...

onodrim

I've never actually seen any werewolf movies, but I've always been a vampire fan. By far the best vampire movie out there is Interview with the Vampire. All the rest are so cheesy and campy compared to the genius of that movie. Bram Stoker's Dracula was a good movie too, but I enjoyed the book a great deal more.

After watching Lost Boys last night, I must say that it definitely has the best soundtrack of any vampire movie.

Is love at first bite that Jim Carry (before he was big) movie?

2 vampire movies not mentioned, but perhaps interesting to vampire film buffs -

The Addiction - http://imdb.com/title/tt0112288/
(which i have seen, and i liked it)

Shadow of the Vampire - http://imdb.com/title/tt0189998/
been on my 'to watch' list for a while..

I Was a Teenage Werewolf - a pretty good werewolf movie. It has all that teenage angst and such thrown in too. It's a little different than your average werewolf movie, but still interesting.

Fright Night - a great vampire flick. The plot, special effects and Roddy McDowall as the old vampire hunter make the movie work well. This is probably one of my favorite color vampire movies.

Shadow of the Vampire - an interesting take on vampires and the movies they're in. Willem Dafoe plays the vampire and does an awesome job. It's not the greatest, but different enough to be really good.

Vespertine

Monster Squad and Fright Night....ahhh, the memories.

Anyways, vote goes for Interview or Queen of the Damned.

djflish

I thought Ginger Snaps would have got a mention by now.
I really liked its different take on the werewolf transformation

I've only seen underworld. And while it was fun to watch, the storyline had such great potential that they could have tapped into, but diddn't. Perhaps they will, since they ended it leaving room for a sequel, but since sequels are so often worse than the original, I doubt it.

Moskie

*smacks self for not thinking of that*

Great flic, I got it on DVD myself. Fearrrrr the Cories!

Sort of on topic: has anyone else checked out the Van Helsing trailer? It's a vampire/werewolf/other scary shit movie starring Hugh Jackman. I think it looks pretty damn sweet.

The trailer is giving me flashbacks of the league of extraordinary gentlemen, actually...

onodrim

Yeah I can see that for sure. It looks like an entertaining summer blockbuster, and I'm always up for anything dealing with vampires, demons, etc. etc., but as usual its a complete perversion of the original Van Helsing character. Oh well, what can ya do?

Nobody else has seen Innocent Blood?

Innocent blood... good stuff.

Underworld seemed like a rip off of everything white wolf, entertaining though.

Bram Stoker's Dracula was cool, but after watching it again 10 years later, it was laugh out loud funny and cheesy. I still really like it.

Now this might just be nostalgia, but I really liked a short-lived Aaron Spelling TV series, Kindred the Embraced. It was from the White Wolf stuff and probably really cheesy. I just remember it having a rediculously hot woman in it or at least she seemed that way to my 14 year old self.
