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?

And if want to expand your horizon there are lots of documentaries with weather as the subject.

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...

(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.
