An American Werewolf in London was a good movie. it actually made me jump on a few parts when i first saw it and any movie that can make me jump i like.

@TheNightcrawler125 they already have ruined any werewolf movie with the twilight garbage, if they make another werewolf movie it will get hated on a lot. especially if they make the werewolves scary again like they should be. everybody will want them to be like they were in twilight and if they are not people will hate it. twilight is very popular even though it doesnt deserve to be.

Ill be the first to say that for someone 37 years of age Edgar Wright looks pretty good. Still almost looks like hes in his twenties!

Lol, Edgar Wright had a similar experience to me when I first saw AWIL. I was about 8 and I got up to the Nazi dream sequence before I got sent to bed aswell.

Rick Baker said he'd like to do another transformation scene that combined CGI and hand made special effects.

On another note, this film scared me shitless the first time I saw it. That was several years ago and no film has terrified so me since. Shame. Desensitization sucks x

@TheNightcrawler125 i totally agree,CGI would be insulting in the remake.i think even rick baker couldn´t do better than he did.he says that mixing both techniques would create a better transformation,but i dont think so.the work of rick baker in "the wolf man" has won the oscar,but i think is pathetic compared to his work in american werewolf.is that the best transformation they can do with new techniques?(in an interview he said he wanted to put some traditional effects there, but he couldnt).

@visceralgristle i guess you are right, without landis the movie would have not been done, but i think the main virtue in the movie are the amazing fx. without them, i think the movie would have been a ruin.there are other good things in the movie, like bernstein music and locations,but i think that for example,comedy elements don´t fit he movie. i think it could have been the definitive werewolf movie if it was more dramatic.

it was my fav movie for years, but i think landis is a bad director.

@visceralgristle without rick baker, the movie would not be the same. no matter who´s the director.

My favorite Director talking about one of THE best movies of all time, awesome!
