Any recommendations for DVDs that have snow?

This may sound crazy, but I like watching movies that have scenes where it is snowing or raining or extreme weather. A few I can think of are - A Simple Plan, The Perfect Storm, Twister, Seven. Can anyone recommend any others?

Hobbes End - Decent flick picked up for $3 somewhere. I guess you could call it a thriller.
Eight Below - Uhhh... you know, jeez, it's new.
The Ice Harvest - John Cusack, not too bad.
March of the Penguins - Penguins.

All have snow. Recommended, some, not all.

Those were going to be my two suggestions. Smilla's is a fine film; Cedars less so, but my goodness, that cinematography...

Dreamcatcher
Spies Like Us
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
(did it snow in these last two? I remember snow on the ground...)


There are too many to list, but any Christmas/Thanksgiving genre (A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation) or WWII genre (Late 1944/Early 1945 - Battle of the Bulge-esque)

An underrated film and Julia Ormond=. For the action fan, I would recommend Where Eagles Dare.

Gorky Park is another personal favorite that's completely set in the snow.
