My favorite snowy movies

These are the movies which make you feel colder in a warm and fuzzy kind of a way! Makes you wish you had a fireplace. These are the choicest, the best snowy movies that will leave your teeth chattering! The following list is in reverse order of preference.

Snow capped mountains and mountains of editing errors, make for good watching. Watch out for the boom mikes. A few laughs are always good.

Another movie featuring snow capped mountains and an action packed thriller.

A movie that gives you the tickles. You begin to feel sorry for the bad guys in the end, and cold!

A classic, what can I say, one of the best movies ever.

Even though this is an animated movie, the storyline, the characters and the setting all come together fantastically.

This movie is 30 degrees below zero. Add crime to the mix and you have potent combination. A must watch, curl up in a quilt and set the air conditioner on high for best effects!

This movie will chill you to the bone. Exotic locales, trains, crime, suspense and tons of snow. A combination that can rarely be beaten. This would end up being one of my favorite train movies as well. Look out for that list!

These are the movies that you would watch if the summer in Delhi is getting too hot to handle or if you are in the mood to travel to Siberia without getting nasty frost bites! Let me know if there are other movies which you think should be on the list.

Nice list. I loved Home Alone mostly because of Snow and snowy Christmas.
Fargo is a place of where I check the temperature almost everyday in Winters.One other place is Caribou in Maine.

I would add 101 Dalmatians to the list. Not sure if "The Day After Tomorrow" can be called a real snowy movie.Then there's a not so popular movie shot in upstate NewYork "Snow Day"

101 Dalmatians - is a nice snowy movie, no doubt! Day after tomorrow - Disaster movie. The snow and ice did not seem natural.

I have to check out Snow Day. Haven't heard of that movie.

Have you seen Transsiberian? You get to see such locales on National Geographic only.

Good that you liked Transsiberian, my mom too is a big fan of the movie!
