Werewolves in Film

[Grislygus]

Movie werewolves have been around for many years, and from The Wolfman to The Howling, they've all been portrayed differently. My question is, which film do you believe did the best job with them?

I personally believe that one of the frontrunners would be American Werewolf in London. While not faithful to the more traditional ideas (wolfsbane, silver, all that), I think that the monster was taken in a new direction, in a clever, interesting, and believable way. It also looked damned cool, which helped a lot.
