Chill Out With A Snow Movie This Winter

23rd January 2013

The temperature is dropping, snow is falling, and there’s nothing better than to curl up with a good movie this winter. Whether you’re snowed in, or just can’t face the chill, here are a few weather-relevant movies to keep you out of the cold!

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
If you’re looking for a film with its fair share of snow then look no further than the snow-covered world of Narnia, complete with the ice-queen herself. The white world is well and truly brought to life in this modern adaptation of the classic novel.

Cool Runnings (1993)
For good all-round family film, Cool Runnings is the perfect choice. This feel-good film follows a Jamaican bobsled team as they attempt to compete in the Winter Olympics. Having never actually been in a bobsled before, training for the competition has its difficulties but the team persevere. The film reaches a climax at the long-awaited race, but you’ll have to watch to find out what happens!

Elf (2003)
The Christmas period may be over but that doesn’t mean we can’t reminisce a little. Ideal for the young, or the young at heart, the film follows one of Santa’s elves as he travels to New York to find his real father. Elf makes for an easy-going film perfect to kick back and relax to.

Burke and Hare (2010)
Sometimes, when the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder, something a little dark and macabre can do just the trick. Set in 19^th century Edinburgh, Burke and Hare is a film about a pair of grave robbers who make a business selling corpses to a medical school. It’s a film full of black humour with a gloomy, snow-covered Edinburgh backdrop. If you get the chance to visit the city, check out Edinburgh cinema listings to get out of the cold this winter.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
There’s nothing like a good disaster movie to make you appreciate being safely curled up on the sofa. The Day After Tomorrow is one of those films that makes the 10 inches of snow outside look like a mere sprinkling. The destructive effects of global warming come to a head as a new Ice Age engulfs the world causing global chaos and a fight for survival.

So, whether you prefer a film that’s light-hearted and upbeat or something a little more sombre, there’s definitely no need to brave the cold this winter – grab a blanket and a mug of hot chocolate and get watching!
