Cold Snowy Winter Movies

quabrot · January 29, 2019, 03:44:09 PM

Here in Chicagoland, we are under a half a foot of snow and temperatures are headed for record lows. On cold days like these, I love watching cold movies.

Snowbeast is a favorite of mine, and I'm sure I've posted about it here in the past. It's pretty much Jaws but at a ski resort, but there is a kind of charm to it.

I also like to revisit the MST3K version of The Day the Earth Froze, though I would love to see the original Russian version (which I now see is on YouTube).

I would probably put Frozen and Fargo on my list too. Any other ideas?

Which version (1982 or 1951)? I love them both, though 1951 is my all time favorite '50s SciFi.

I love SNOWBEAST !!! Made for TV in 1977.

Either or indeed both, although not the prequel. Lets just leave that one out.

As soon as a bunch of politicrits started running around screaming & crying that it was never going to snow or freeze anywhere on Earth ever again....

HORROR EXPRESS (1972)

The Crimson Rivers

Cold, frightening and eerie.

Ice station zebra.

And I second horror express.

One to avoid is a MFTV bomb called "snow beast" starring bo svenson and a monster no more dangerous than a bear and not as scary looking.

Snow-clad westerns seem to be well above-par particularly "The Great Silence", "Day Of The Outlaw" and "Breakheart Pass".

Quabrot mentioned that SNOWBEAST was a favorite... in his first post when he started this thread. I like it too.
