I don't literally mean Good movies, but movies that would be good for watching on a cold night.

In addition to the cold temps (woohoo; it has climbed up to the teens in fahrenheit), we are now having snow and freezing rain (16 degrees and freezing rain; what the hell is up with that?).

For some reason, this puts me in the mood for watching John Carpenter's The Thing.

What movies do you get in the mood for when it is cold and snowy?

The FDA has been looking for a generic name for Viagra. After careful consideration by a team of government experts, it recently announced that it has settled on the generic name of Mycoxafloppin. Also considered were Mycoxafailin, Mydixadrupin, Mydixarizin, Dixafix, and of course, Ibepokin.

Once got in trouble when a bunch of us watched "The Thing" in the barracks (and we killed a bottle of peppermint schnapps).  This was during a snowstorm in Boston.  After it was over, a bunch of us got bundled up and ran around outside of the building.  We came in through the front hatch with a road flare from somebody's car.  The front entry was where the duty hut was located and the Marine on duty easily heard me say, "We've got to bring this whole place down under the ice."  The intent of the whole skit was to annoy/alarm the Marine on duty and that worked pretty well.

"Legend" is another good movie for wintry nights.  Seeing Jack burst up through the ice into that sudden blizzard will make you feel chilled to the bone in sympathy.

Only one --
The best one --
"Curse of The Cat People" --
If you haven't seen it, you have no idea what I'm talking about.
Absolutely the very best snowy-day, Christmasy, cold-weather film of its ilk at any time, in any place.
( I have to indulge in hyperbole here, as I have a genuine interest in having more people from this site SEE this damn thing!!)

Kentucky

The snow was no more than an inch or two. Several inches of fluffy snow would be pretty, but this was spitting snow that compacts easily, gets dirty, then just looks ugly. Heck, it was around 20 this morning and it didn't feel bad, compared to the single digit temps of the previous days (now there is just something wrong when 20 feels okay).

ANY Bela Lugosi movie. I love all his films,as does my wife.
CURSE of the CAT PEOPLE: I saw it as a kid,and at first I was a surprised as there are no "Cat people "in the film...but an excellent ghost movie!And it may be a B-movie,but being from Val Lewtons RKO B unit of the 40's (ie The BODY SNATCHER,BEDLAM) is enuff recomendation for anyone to see it!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
