I may be in the minority but van hellsing has probably the best werewolf design I’ve seen.
I think you are. I just watched a few clips from that movie and found those werewolves to be super generic and "cartoony" looking (The absolutely horrible CGI did NOT do them any favors either. Good Lord, What an eyesore...). Even in the original concept sketches they come across more like roided-up wrestlers/superheroes than actual wolves i.m.o...

An attempt to rank my personal favorite werewolf designs would probably end up looking something like this:

#1 - Dog Soldiers
#2 - Werewolf TV-show (Skorzeny wolf)
#3 - Underworld (Lycans)
#4 - Bram Stoker's Dracula
#5 - An American Werewolf In London
#6 - The Wolfman 2010

NB - The main reason AWIL scores fairly low for me is the fact it's not a bipedal design. I've also left out the undeniable classic "The Howling", for the simple fact I've never been a big fan of the movie as a whole (Rob Bottin is a true monster master though...)
 
the best werewolf was bad moon
This is a fairly good pick for design i.m.o. However, I did find the movie a bit too uneven as far as the monster action is concerned. They sure could've used another take or two in some of those brightly lit scenes...

I had to turn that movie off so never got to the werewolf.

Pretty much agree with this, I also really like Wolf and The Howling but yes there are 2 or 3 really distinct takes on werewolf designs. I really love AWIL and the effects for their time are amazing but was never really a fan of the design. Werewolf TV show I loved at the time, brings back great memories.
 
I rewatched Bad Moon recently. Great practical effects, but those early CGI morphing effects... yikes.

It was also pretty funny how there was a full moon seemingly every other night.
