Teen Wolf – Michael J. Fox as a Teenage Werewolf (1985)

Released in 1985, during the height of Michael J. Fox’s fame with Back to the Future, Teen Wolf became one of the most beloved fantasy comedies of the 80s.

The story follows Scott Howard, a seemingly average high school student and struggling basketball player, who suddenly discovers he has inherited a bizarre family trait: the ability to transform into a werewolf. At first horrified, Scott quickly realizes his new identity brings him instant popularity and transforms his failing basketball team into champions.

Blending sports, comedy, and teenage drama, Teen Wolf works both as a lighthearted fantasy and as a metaphor for adolescence: awkward changes, the struggle for self-confidence, and the desire for acceptance.

With its upbeat 80s soundtrack, high-energy basketball sequences, and Michael J. Fox’s irresistible charm, Teen Wolf became a cult hit. It inspired a sequel (Teen Wolf Too, 1987) and decades later a darker TV reboot, proving just how lasting and influential this quirky teen comedy remains.
