My favorite Snow movies:

1. Man from Snowy River,(1982) 102 min. - Epic romantic coming of age saga set in Australia with Kirk Douglas in two roles as twin brothers.

2. Ice Station Zebra (1968) 148 min. starring Rock Hudson,Jim Brown, Ernest Borgnine and Patrick McGoohan, this military Cold-War spy thriller is action and snow-packed.

3. Alive (1993) 127 min. - Ethan Hawke stars and John Malkovich narrates this harrowing true story of a South American Rugby team's desperate measures to survive after their plane crashes in the Andes Mountains. Not for the squeamish or small children.

4. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) Snow White, pursued by a jealous queen, hides with the Dwarfs; the queen feeds her a poison apple, but Prince Charming awakens her with a kiss.

5. Snow Day (2000) When a school in upstate New York is snowed in, a group of students hi-jack a plow to keep the school closed.

6. A Christmas Story (1983) Ralphie tries to convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun is the perfect gift for him in the 1940’s. You’ll shoot your eye out. (Love Love Love this movie)

7. Christmas Vacation (1989) The Griswold family's plans for a big family Christmas predictably turn into a big disaster. My favorite quote:

Ellen: Clark, I think it'd be best if everyone went home... before things get worse.
Clark: WORSE? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen. We're at the threshold of hell.

8. Snow Dogs (2002) When a Miami dentist inherits a team of sled dogs, he's got to learn the trade or lose his pack to a crusty mountain man.

9. Love Story (1970) Harvard Law student Oliver Barrett IV and music student Jennifer Cavilleri share a chemistry they cannot deny - and a love they cannot ignore

10. Doctor Zhiago (1965) Life of a married Russian doctor/poet who falls for a political activist's wife and experiences hardships during the Bolshevik Revolution.

These are a few of my favorite movies, that have snow in them. What are yours?

Okay, now you're starting to SCARE me...!
I guess great minds DO have those single thought moments...LOL!

I also love Dr. Zhivago -the scenery is breath-taking, and I always watch Ice Station Zebra (good thriller)
And yes, some of the others can also be seen over at my blog.

You aren't eating lunch for breakfast (like I currently am), are you?

I might have to start calling you "Sis"...(and I'm an only child).

We think too much alike.
(a good thing for the world)

Have a great week!

how 'bout "Jack Frost" and "The Santa Clause". Probably would have more but I'm not a snow lover, just a snow bird w/o the means to fly away.
