The Top 9 Wintery, Snowy Movies

Apparently some people can get sick of Christmas movies (What kind of people, you ask? I don't know... jerks without souls? Criminals with no sense of joy? Mutants who hate hugs?) around this time of year. I understand that to an extent (I guess). So what should they watch instead? Winter movies, of course! Here are some favourites.

1. Batman Returns
   • Everything about this movie is great. It's become a little corny over time, but it's absolutely still a great movie. I promise you. It's not an overly wintery movie, but it does take place at Christmastime (with no real mention of Christmas itself) and the final scene is snowy as hell. 
2. Krampus
   • Nope, I will not shut up about this movie. It's too fun. Honestly, this is the movie that inspired this list in the first place. After I first saw it, I thought about it more and realized that one of my favourite things about the movie was the snow. It made you feel like you were in it. Literally a perfect winter movie. 
3. The Shining
   • Umm, do you remember the final scenes of this movie? So much snow! And fear. Snow and fear are kind of a neat combination, I think. All that silence? I don't know, man, I'm into it. 
4. Snow Day
   • Maybe this movie is too wholesome to be on this list. MAYBE. But I'm still very much a fan of it. I remember seeing it when it came out, so perhaps that's why I remember it fondly. However, it holds up over time.
5. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
   • I cannot and will not tell you the amount of times I've thought of the bed-on-the-snowy-beach scene. Won't do it. SO ROMANTIC. Sometimes I'll see a certain kind of snow falling and this movie will immediately come to mind.
6. A Simple Plan
   • You probably haven't seen this movie and it's really good. Bill Paxton is probably the sexiest, underrated actor of our generation. 
7. Alive
   • Super snowy movie, this one. And pretty depressing, really. But, like, in a good way. In a very nineties way.
8. Grumpy Old Men
   • I love these men and I love this movie. Personally, I prefer this one to Grumpier Old Men but to each his own. 
9. Edward Scissorhands
   • I'm putting this one on the list mainly for this scene right here. Good God, I love that scene.

Didn't think I could come up with nine, did you? Ha!
