A big part of why *An American Werewolf in London* succeeded is how audiences and critics responded to it. Released in 1981, the film was immediately recognized as a strong horror hit, earning praise from across the film industry and quickly gaining a dedicated fanbase. It also became hugely influential, particularly for its groundbreaking use of practical effects and body horror in monster movies. While not the only werewolf film released that year, it was by far the most popular. Even today, over four decades later, film fans consider it a landmark achievement in horror, and it remains a favorite for many who grew up in the ’80s. It’s easy to see why many still consider it the best monster movie ever made.

A new animated series called Bat-Fam will be available to stream on Prime Video starting November 10, 2025. It’s a spin-off of the movie *Merry Little Batman* and features the voices of Luke Wilson, Yonas Kibreab, James Cromwell, and other talented actors.

Though Gerard Butler didn’t become a leading man overnight, he benefited from appearing in several large-scale films early in his career. He acted alongside major stars in movies like *Tomorrow Never Dies* with Pierce Brosnan, *Reign of Fire* with Christian Bale, and *Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life* with Angelina Jolie. While he’s great in those blockbusters, the following 10 films truly showcase his best work.

According to Flixpatrol, the series *The Chosen* is currently ninth in the U.S., a position it’s maintained for the last seven days. Created by Dallas Jenkins, this historical drama focuses on the life of Jesus of Nazareth, but with a fresh perspective. Rather than solely focusing on the divine, the show tells Jesus’ story through the experiences of those around him—his followers, Roman leaders, and everyday people living in Galilee during the first century—and their struggles with faith.
