With the current weather being so cold and the threat (or maybe you actually have some) of snow is a daily occurrence. I live in the North East of England and we have been pretty let off with it so far only the odd downpours but not actually lying on the ground I thought I would quickly put together a list of films which have quite a lot of snow in them!
I have tried to mix some obvious choices with some you might not expect!
Cliffhanger
Stallone. Wearing a t-shirt climbing the snow-covered mountains. Nothing more needs to be said!
The Day After Tomorrow
If you don’t feel cold before watching this one you will after. Totally a guilty pleasure of mine, the effects are very good!
Frozen
No I won’t let it go. Yes I went there, but had to include this one as the most recent snow filled adventure.
Cool Runnings
Four Jamaicans who have never even seen snow before are going to be the first bobsleigh team.
Chalet Girl
This is a cute film and involves snowboarding. Oh and Bill Nighy is in it too!
The Polar Express
A very snowy Christmas Eve as the children whose belief is fading visit the North Pole.
It’s A Wonderful Life
George Bailey running through the snow realising that maybe it is a wonderful life after all.
Which snow filled films would you pick?

That’s a really great movie and it takes place in a snowstorm. If you haven’t seen it you have a treat in store.

I still haven’t seen that (yes I know the shame). Especially as they were talking about that film on the radio yesterday, due to if it was sunny on 2nd Feb we would have a 6 week winter? I think thats right lol

Here for Cool Runnings! Oh, and I’d like to put in a good word for the Nickelodeon film Snow Day, a movie about a day in the life of neighborhood kids out of school due to wintry weather. It’s too cute!

Dead Snow if you like horror, Snow Dogs would be my family film pick and avoiding Christmas films, Wind Chill i think was a good thriller with Emily Blunt, and finally Frozen the Shawn Ashmore thriller where three friends get stuck on a ski lift

Yeah it actually, not even gonna lie I enjoyed it a lot and that without the Bill Nighy factor haha. Review should be on the blog 🙂

Love your picks! I think I’d add: Fargo, The Empire Strikes Back and definitely The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Since we in New England have received almost 50 inches of snow in the last 10 days, I’m looking rather like Jack Nicholson at the moment!

Oh hope everything is ok in all that snow! I still have to catch up with Fargo it’s in my Netflix list!

Nice picks. Some others: The Ice Harvest (dark comedy about bad guys fleeing from other bad guys starring John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton, and Randy Quaid among others), Fargo, Dead Snow, Deadfall (underrated crime thriller starring Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Sissy Spacek, and Kris Kristofferson).

I’d say Empire Strikes Back, but Star Wars gets enough coverage. I like the ending of Superman II in the icy/snowy Fortress of Solitude. The Thing is an obvious choice. Fargo too.

Great picks! I immediately think of Frozen, and of course there’s gotta be a few Bond flicks set in a snowy setting, i.e. For Your Eyes Only & The Spy Who Loved Me opening ski chase 😀
