Everest

Touching the void is one of my favourites.

HeidiWhole · 13/12/2022 22:59

Touching the Void! Docu-drama rather than film though

Londongent · 13/12/2022 23:06

The Mountain between us.
The Grey

Do you?! When it's cold I like to watch things that make me feel warmer1

I was also going to suggest Alive and Misery.

The Revenant

The Edge with Alex Baldwin and Anthony Hopkins

Snowbound

1990s film based on a true story. Very good despite the title sounding lightweight.

NewBootsAndRanty · 13/12/2022 23:13

The Shining

AnyFucker · 13/12/2022 23:14

The foreign version of Let Me In

30 days of night-terrifying

I watched Keep Breathing on Netflix recently. A bit slow starting but quite a watchable series if you want to binge watch.

APurpleSquirrel · 13/12/2022 23:25

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Not a film but a good audiobook… Green glass House

The day after tomorrow

The Empire Strikes Back

Centigrade.

True story, American couple driving in Norway, pull over to side of the road in snow storm, car gets buried in snow. They are there a long time.

I'm not recommending it, it's not cheerful, but it gets points for being true.

DuesToTheDirt · 13/12/2022 23:38

Against the Ice, historical drama about the Danish claiming land in Greenland.

Can’t believe no one else has said die hard 2

Yikes! My suggestion was at least Christmasy 😄 although not a film so kind of a wash

mackthepony · 14/12/2022 00:07

Touching the void is awesome

There's a more recent film with Mads Mikklesen, airplane crash and he walks for miles in the snow. Very bleak (obviously)

The book 'into thin air' is heartbreakingly good, I think Everest was loosely based on it, but I preferred the book. Beautifully written, but make sure you have a box of hankies on standby..
