Movies with beautiful Winter scenery?

[Mr. Hockstatter]

I'm looking for movies to get me in the mood for Winter.  Stuff with lots of beautiful snow covered vistas, etc.  Like Dr. Zhivago or The Fearless Vampire Hunters.

Any ideas?

The Icestorm - The movie takes place in Massatchusets, I think, during winter. Lots of pretty scenery, great actors, and It's one of the few dramas that did'nt make me completely want to wretch.

RAVENOUS would definitely fit the bill.

"The Curse of The Cat People", one of the Val Lewton pantheon.  It spans summer into winter & relationship of this girl to the weird people down the block.  The girl may or may not be being visited by the ghost of her were-panther mother.  The winter scenery at night is stunning.  The use of light and shadow in the black & white blizzard scene just breathtaking, especially for a low-budget effort like this.

THE GREAT SILENCE was one of the best films I've seen shot in the Winter. In the Italian Alps. Great cinematography also.

Fargo springs to mind. Also, Jack Frost, an amazingly bizarre Russian children's movie that showed up on MST3K.

If your just talking about winter films in general then you have THE SHINING, THE THING, and one that I just saw called ICE STATION ZEBRA complete with winter storm hollywood set.

Since most of the movies mentioned have been older ones, I guess I should also throw in a recent one; Extreme Ops. A bunch of people into "extreme" sports are hired to shoot a sequence of them skiing down a mountain, outrunning an avalanche, but they get mistaken for CIA operatives by some war criminal in hiding. The story is stupid, but the scenery and stunts are pretty good.

Some of the winter scenes are quite ugly (on purpose) but the scenes on the beach in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" are fantastic and beautifully dream-like (again on purpose).

Parts of "Stalingrad" are beautiful, in between the carnage. "Castle Keep", again before the carnage.

"McCabe and Mrs. Miller"

There's some Spanish winter locations in The Four Musketeers (Lester,1974) but only for part of the film (somewhat incongruously- although this does make for a good frozen pond fight sequence).
