Films with thunder and lightning...
 

Nothing comforts me more on a hot summer night as a film with lots of storms, thunder and lightning, hail, rain, howling wind and scary or supernatural atmosphere. But memory fails me... Here are some I can name:

Frankenstein (1931)
The Old Dark House (1932)
The Spiral Staircase (1946)
Portrait of Jennie (1948)
The lepers' miracle in Ben-Hur (1925 and 1958)
Godzilla (1998) - the whole film is set in a very rainy New York City.
The Perfect Storm (2000)
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Do you have any favourites?

Poltergeist

How could I forget. Also:
Psycho (1960)
Marnie (1964)

The Seventh Seal has a nice storm.

Identity is storming the entire film.

Big Trouble in Little China

Close Encouters of the Third Kind
Twister
Cape Fear - (remake)
Stormchasers (IMAX feature)
Jurassic Park

The Crow

Tombstone has a good, and real, thunderstorm.

Jurassic Park, yes!!! Also:
Bambi (1942)
Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty (1959)
The Iron Giant (1999)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2003): Battle at Helm's Deep

As a kid I always thought Malificent's creation of the clouds and the thunder and lightning as it enshroaded the castle in "Sleeping Beauty" was so cool.

I was about to say, wasn't there a lightning bolt striking every few seconds?

Open Range.

Jedi

The Rundown :D

Forrest Gump, I believe.

Along Came Polly :)

Panic Room

The Iron Giant (at the beginning)

Back to the Future - Part II

good pick on the guys who said Iron Giant

How about Saving Private Ryan? I heard thunnnnnderrrr and lightening a lot, although I think people were saying it instead :)

The perfect storm
The Shawshank Redemption
The Posieden(sp?) Adventure

What always distracts me though is how we see the lightning and hear the thunder simultaneously in 90% of films. Hasn't anyone in Hollywood ever experienced a real thunderstorm?

Most Christ stories have a thunderstorm after the crucifixion. But I remember The Robe most vividly, for eeriness.

Undead (2003 Australia)(2005 U.S.)
Night of the Comet
War of the Worlds (2005)

Hard Rain
Se7en

Unforgiven has a good storm at the end but I can't remember if thunder and lightning were prominant.
