coming welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten snow movies it’s not gonna
be just snow and this it’s gonna be ice
and rock for this list we’re taking a
look at the films in which snow plays a
final role in the story or setting based
on a mix of how memorable they are how
successful they were and how popular
they are films that only have some
scenes involving snow such as Inception
The Shining and Star Wars Episode five
the Empire Strikes Back don’t qualify
for this list all right I’ll see you
surely and sorry no Christmas movies

make sense soon number ten the day after
tomorrow you can’t make it to New York
jack I’ve walked that far before in the
snow we all enjoy the beautiful look of
newly fallen snow from out of the
comfort of our bedroom window but a
global ice age not as much the super
storm will last seven to ten days when
it’s over ice and snow will cover the
entire northern hemisphere that’s the
predicament that father and son Jack and
Sam Hall played by Dennis Quaid and Jake
Gyllenhaal find themselves in after
getting caught in some fierce weather
patterns triggered by global warming
snow is getting deeper by the minute
we’ve been trapped here without food
supplies it’s a risk yeah an unnecessary
risk as we watch massive snowstorms with
centers that hold temperatures below 100
degrees Celsius sweep the nation and New
York starts to look like Antarctica
we can’t help but cheer for the
protagonists and reach for a blanket you
buried under 15 feet of snow and they
