‘I’m so co-o-old’: the 20 best films with dreadful weather
Theguardian presents a ranking of the 20 best films in which dreadful weather plays a major role.
The list includes Frozen, in which a woman literally turns her surroundings into a perpetual winter, and Everest, which depicts climbers caught in a blizzard. It also features The Impossible, a dramatisation of the Indian Ocean tsunami, and The Revenant, where relentless cold and storms batter the protagonist.
Other entries highlight different meteorological threats: The Shining's snowbound isolation, Blade Runner's rain-drenched cityscapes, Force Majeure's life-changing avalanche, and The Thing's Antarctic setting. Films such as Twister, Sharknado, Magnolia, The Day After Tomorrow, The Poseidon Adventure, Noah, The Mist and The Perfect Storm round out the selection, each using extreme weather to shape plot and mood.
