Teen Wolf (1985)

I'm aware TW is well-liked by many people, but it seems to me as if a large percentage of those feelings are nostalgia masquerading as something else. I suffer from the same thing with my own favourite 80s movies, but not with TW. It’s a typical American High School comedy about a student who wants to be popular and get the girl. The only real difference is the gimmick that he’s a werewolf. Other than having hair in awkward places, it does very little that dozens of other films from the same era didn't do more successfully, which is to say that it’s what you have inside that counts.
