When the snow is falling, it’s the perfect time to watch a good movie, or two, or even five.
Here my top 5 movies to watch when the snow makes us freeze. My favourites either make you laugh, make you understand that we could have it way worse, or are simply heartfelt.
1. Ice Age
A great family movie about making friends and not discriminating between people, but doing what’s right for those who can’t fully themselves. A must-see this winter.
2. The Day After Tomorrow
The Day After Tomorrow – Trailer
Talking about having it worse. This movie really shows us that our winters could be way worse than they are, but also the more serious side explaining while our winters keep getting colder and colder: global climate change. This movie shows us that we either become active and take action regarding the developments, or soon we will be frozen before we can even voice our first complaint about how cold it is.
3. Happy Feet
A beautiful family movie with great music and love put into every animation throughout the entire movie. The comedy and heart-felt moments that are included in the movie are already hinted on the movie cover, with the warning, and the release date. This movie is simply great, and one of the cutest things is that penguins are the main characters. Simply adorable!
4. Narnia 1 – The lion, the witch, and the wardrobe
When you think of Narnia at first, most don’t remember the relation to snow in this movie. Nevertheless, the first movie plays almost entirely in a frozen Narnia! When my 11th birthday passed and I wasn’t invited to Hogwarts, I was super sad (how many people out there have felt the same?), but then I read Narnia, and I thought that maybe this magical story would come true in my life. As I can now say, it never did, but this movie makes you dream of a country beyond the imagination of this world, in which the good does indeed beat evil. Even if it’s cold outside, the good guys never rest.
5. Into the Wild
This is one of the most emotional movies I have ever seen. It tells a real story about a man taking off to go to Alaska after selling and giving away all of his belongings. Alaska is known for not being the warmest country in the world, and for a man without any belongings or winter clothes to take off and live in the wild for some time, I don’t think we should complain about the cold. After all, we have the possibility to just snuggle on the couch in our favourite blanket and stay warm.
Those movies are literally the best movies to watch when it is snowing out, but it is best to enjoy them with a cup of hot chocolate. Oh, and also grab some friends!
Happy snowfall!
