The 10 Best Snow Day Movies

"In cinema, as in life, the weather directly contributes to the central conflict of its characters: Heat sizzles disagreements to their breaking point; rain drenches any emotion in melodrama. Snow is a unique cinematic element not only because it's visually gorgeous, but also because of its versatility in connoting a vast spectrum of human experience. Snow can create a romantic, cozy atmosphere or a terrifyingly bleak one, depending on the perspective of the artist.
With the post-holiday, pre-spring dregs of winter well underway, what's better than staying in with a movie that reflects the frostiness outside? Whether you want to snuggle up to a warm romance or bundle through a thriller that will make your blood run cold, there is a perfect snow day movie for you.
Here are ten of our favorite snow day movies, presented in alphabetical order."
