Teen Wolf (1985)
Let’s talk Teen Wolf—a beacon of 80s high school movie magic that's both absurdly hilarious and weirdly inspiring. Transforming into a werewolf as a metaphor for puberty? Genius. And the basketball scenes? Please, the NBA could never. Fans are split between 'it’s so bad, it’s good' and 'it’s just good, fight me'. The biggest struggle? Convincing people it’s more than just hairy teenage angst on a basketball court. If you don’t get why this flick is a cultural touchstone, you probably think a full moon is just for poets and werewolves.
