The Shining.
Let The Right One In
Touching the Void
“Misery”
Fargo
A Simple Plan
—DiB
All good suggestions! Anymore? Seen most of the suggested, but some are still definitely tempting. I automatically thought Fargo too. Have seen Let The Right One In, twice quite recently.. Thanks for the quick replies.
The Ice Storm. Ang Lee and actors who were still young in the 90’s.
Dr. Zhivago!
Dr. Zhivago would most definitely be my choice as well. I felt cold just watching it.
something undepressing but long to kill time maybe my fair lady
Ghandhi!
The Gold Rush
The Thing
The Abominable Snowman (1957)
Thing & Shining seconded. i tend to think of _Thing’s music during deep snow. I suggest Altman’s Quintet. One of the coldest looking movies I’ve ever seen.
That snow is on it’s way to me in NJ now. I’m not looking forward to it.
Sci Fiction or Fantasy sagas like Alien or The lord of the rings. You are going to be busy!
Herzog’s Encounters at the End of the World would be a perfect choice too.
Kurosawa’s Dersu Uzala
Winter Light, Stranger Than Paradise, Fanny & Alexander (great for Christmas and tons of snow) Road to Perdition, Careful.
I’s a Wonderful Life of course.
Jeremiah Johnson with Robert Redford.
When stranded in a snow storm it’s always a good idea to eat other human beings.
Andrei Rublev. Set in snowy Russia, it should make for a good 3.5 hours.
May I also suggest putting on the song Listen the Snow is Falling by Galaxie 500 (cover of the equally good Yoko Ono song).
personal picks,i don’t care if they don’t have snow:
Re-Animator
The Killer
Nosferatu
La Grande Bouffe
Allegory
Vengeance is Mine
The Adventures of Robin Hood
Devil in the Flesh
The Cow
fun times.
Kurosawa´s “The Idiot”
Chaplin´s “Gold Rush”
Yukisada´s “Spring Snow”
Snow´s “Wavelength”
Nobody mentioned McCabe & Mrs. Miller yet?
John Huston’ The Dead. Actually, reading the short story would be better.
If you watch The Thing don’t forget the original B&W version. Also try Murder on the Orient Express
Avalanche (the 1978 one)
how is this even a question? THE ICE STORM!!!! ffs the movie is named after the meteorological phenomenon in question
David
I live in DC and the beginning of an estimated foot of snow has come upon the city. What should I watch??? Anyone?
