Movie Cliches

It's never just cold enough to freeze to death. There are also wolves.

Are you watching that movie where those people get stuck on the ski lift and it's just cold enough to freeze to death and there are also wolves? O_O

No, I'm watching Cliffhanger, but immediately thought of Frozen (the one you're asking about) and The Day After Tomorrow.

ooooh are you gonna watch Alive? I haven't seen that in years!

Funny you should ask. A documentary about that is in my Instant queue. Don't think there were any wolves, which is too bad, because they wouldn't have had to eat people if they could have eaten wolves.

I've never seen either of the "Before" movies. But I bet I'm one of the few who's seen Taking Lives *and* Daybreakers.

LOL I've seen neither :))

Don't forget Mystery Date. FYI the dude who plays his older brother is basically just like my brother.

I think The Thing breaks this mold, doesn't it? Sure, the Thing is a thing/malamute, but doesn't someone freeze to death?

Also, in the Icelandic movie 101 Reykjavik, the main character tries to kill himself by laying in the snow trying to die of exposure. (However he changes his mind about it after enough snow has accumulated on him to cover his cigarette and he gives up and walks back home)

The infamous 'Day After Tomorrow' has people dying from exposure to the cold air brought in from the upper layers of the atmosphere.

I wanted to say 'Dead Snow' had something like this but then I remembered anyone who was killed was killed by zombies.
