Teen Wolf. 1985.
Average teen Scott Howard finds out that his family is a descendant of half human-half wolf hybrid that helps him gain popularity but also has it's problems.
Michael J. Fox stars as the teen Scott who seems shy and quiet until the beast in him comes out that seems to take over his life. James Hampton plays the father figure Harold who tries to be the sympathetic single parent who hoped the wolf transformation would skip the generation that leads to a comical moment in the bathroom/hallway.
Yeah it's full of 80s cheesiness but that's what we love about these old childhood films, I don't think anyone else could have pulled off the role the way Fox did. Filmed before Back To The Future and released after the film, there is some noticeable similarities with the set pieces with the same houses used in both films. Still entertaining and a lot better than the sequel.
