This list is inspired by the fact that I got a part in a werewolf movie recently and have been doing some research by watching other werewolf movies & TV shows. The movie is called Canis Lupis Rednexus, and I will play Featured Werewolf. It's a comedy about a bunch of werewolves in a small Southern town. When putting together this list I was originally going to put a best and worst list, but I decided to instead put a list of all the ones I've seen with a rating from my new rating system. Check it out if you're unfamiliar with it. It has a blog post under September. There's also a list under each category of ones I haven't seen. Enjoy.
