The Scooby Gang has been around for decades, bringing in new generations of Scooby-Doo fans with each TV series and film released. With the latest entries leaving more than a few fans feeling lackluster, many fans reminisce of the older animated films that made them fall in love with Scooby when they were younger.
Many of the Scooby-Doo movies have a ton of heart and were released in the late '90s to early 2000s before the release of What's New Scooby-Doo?, which later received its own set of animated films. Many of the movies from this era are pretty integral to pop culture and have received a ton of memes. They have also become a staple of media with loads of nostalgia to make every Scooby-Doo fan happy.
Updated October 18th, 2021 by Jake Koran: As the age-old saying goes, "As the seasons change, so too do the IMDb rankings for Scooby-Doo movies." With new user ratings, certain movies have changed rankings, and others have been added or removed entirely from the top ten. Regardless of their rankings, these Scooby-Doo movies continue to entertain audiences and will continue to do so for the indefinite future.
10 Chill Out, Scooby-Doo! (2007) - 6.7
After being tricked into getting on the wrong plane by a malicious hunter, Shaggy and Scooby find themselves being used as bait for the Abominable Snowman in the Himalayas. The film then follows Shaggy and Scooby as they try to contact their friends with the help of people from a nearby village.
Velma, Fred, and Daphne try to track them and go out on a rescue mission. Snow monsters are not uncommon for Scooby-Doo stories, and in fact, they make up some of the best villains in What's New, Scooby-Doo? because they work so well. The movie has a lot of heart and humor, making it a great watch at any age.
9 Scooby-Doo And The Reluctant Werewolf (1988) - 6.8
Scooby-Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf is one of the older movies loved by IMDb users and is actually just a Shaggy and Scooby adventure. This film is also Scrappy-Doo's last appearance before his comeback as the main antagonist in the 2002 live-action iteration.
This is super cool due to the fact that the movie features a lot of the classic Hollywood monsters, like Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, and the Werewolf. Shaggy also has a girlfriend in this film named Googie, who helps a Werewolf Shaggy and Scooby win a race held by Dracula.
8 Scooby-Doo! And The Loch Ness Monster (2004) - 6.8
Scooby-Doo! and the Loch Ness Monster follows the Mystery, Inc. crew as they travel to Scotland to visit Daphne's cousin and watch the Highland Games. They are told tales of the Loch Ness Monster, which appears to be frightening people in the area. This film features familiar antics like those present in other popular Scooby-Doo movies, and it makes for a consistently enjoyable experience.
The antagonist is also fleshed out, being one of the more sympathetic Scooby-Doo villains. As a result, Scooby-Doo and the Loch Ness Monster remains a classic that new fans should check out.
7 Scooby-Doo And The Ghoul School (1988) - 6.9
This was another Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy adventure that followed the boys becoming gym teachers at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Girls. The only thing is, all the girls at the school are the daughters of some classic Hollywood monsters.
Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, the Wolfman, the Invisible Man, and the Mummy all have their own daughters, who end up relying heavily on the boys' help and end up bonding with them deeply. This movie is super cute and has some classic Scooby-Doo charm.
6 Scooby-Doo And The Alien Invaders (2000) - 6.9
This movie is another iconic Scooby-Doo offering from the early 2000s. It features Shaggy, Scooby, and the gang coming into contact with actual extraterrestrials. It's the classic tale of alien invasion but with the Scooby-Doo characters, which is just amazing.
Scooby and Shaggy also both have love interests in this movie, and both of these new characters perfectly meld into the Scooby-Doo aesthetic with all of their colorful '60s vibes.
5 Scooby-Doo Meets The Boo Brothers (1987) - 7.1
Scooby-Doo Meets the Boo Brothers is the oldest high-rated movie in the franchise and was released in 1987. It features Scooby, Shaggy, and Scrappy-Doo meeting the Boo Brothers, some ghostly tricksters who "help" Shaggy with ghostly tenants at his newly inherited mansion.
The Boo Brothers is a classic and is actually a ghostly model of The Three Stooges. The ghosts are comical and satirical as they are hired to be ghost hunters while being ghosts themselves. Ghosts have sometimes made for some of the goofiest villains in the original Scooby-Doo series, but the Boo Brothers are a more interesting take on specters and make the film a lot of fun.
4 Scooby-Doo And The Cyber Chase (2001) - 7.1
Another classic, Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase shows the gang fighting a virtual creature called the Phantom Virus, who drags the gang into cyberspace. The friends then go through a number of levels in a video game where the Phantom Virus continues to chase after them.
It gets to the point where the Phantom Virus is able to bring back some of the classic Scooby-Doo bad guys from the original series. The gang also finds alternate versions of themselves, such as Shaggy in his The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo outfit and Velma, Daphne, and Fred in their classic outfits.
3 Scooby-Doo And The Witch's Ghost (1999) - 7.3
This fan-favorite Scooby-Doo movie fully embraces the '90s goth aesthetic with the Hex Girls. Furthermore, the film accurately portrays the idea of Wicca and its eco-friendly ideas.
Because of their appearance and interest in witchcraft and the Wiccan religion, the gang assumes that the Hex Girls are the people behind the ghost that is haunting Oakhaven, Sarah Ravencroft. However, after being proven wrong and shown how the girls practice their beliefs, they realize this story has a massive twist that none of them, not even Velma, were expecting.
2 Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare (2010) - 7.3
While Scooby-Doo has always held an air of creepy mystery that was suitable for young audiences, Camp Scare highlights some foundations of the horror genre itself.
Scary stories around the fire camp, a killer hiding in the woods hunting down camp goers, a legend about a Fishman who swam so much because he was lonely as a camper that he became a fish. This movie really has a bunch of creepy elements that are reminiscent of some of the best slasher movie franchises. It is a classic Scooby-Doo plot with a ton of super spooky elements.
1 Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island (1998) - 7.8
Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island was the first of the "new" Scooby-Doo movies and became an icon for the new generation of Scooby fans. This film started the new trend that Scooby and the gang weren't just facing "guys in masks" anymore, but rather supernatural beings.
This film has werecats, zombies, and voodoo. It's totally creepy but has all the humor and heart from classic Scooby-Doo. It also shows the gang in their everyday life before they all reconnect to solve this mystery in Daphne's new TV show.
