23 Movies to Watch on Your Snow Day

Obvious choice. If you haven't seen this Nickelodeon-produced movie from 2000, now is the time.

Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) are basically a study on what not to do in the cold weather. Lesson No. 1: Travel in something warmer than a scooter. No. 2: Never, ever lick anything frozen.

In Inception, architect Ariadne (Ellen Page) designs a snowy landscape as one of the deeper levels of the subconscious. It's the perfect spot for a chase scene on skis.

OK, so it's not snow per se, but Edward (Johnny Depp)'s ice sculpture shavings definitely provide the right effect. Even years later as an older woman, Kim (Winona Ryder) still believes he's up in his house, making it come down.

Snow is so white and pristine — well, unless you live in Fargo, in which case it's most likely splattered with blood. The killers in the small town prefer to keep their victims on ice. (Get it?)

If you're going to relive a day over and over, you'd hope that it would at least be warm. Phil (Bill Murray) has to brave the elements more than once, but the most ironic part is that he's a weatherman.

When global warming spawns a new ice age, Sam (Jake Gyllenhaal) is forced to hide out in the New York Public Library until things warm back up. Handy tip: if you're in a pinch for firewood, old books can always do the trick.

Narnia's beautiful, snowy landscape in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is actually the product of a wicked spell cast by the White Witch. As a result, it's "always Winter but never Christmas."

If you're snowed in this Winter, consider this a warning: do not end up like our pal Jack. After he takes a job at a haunted hotel, a snowstorm comes in, and Jack is left with a seriously bad case of cabin fever.

Next up in the Winter Olympics: tap-dancing? In this cute animated flick set in the Antarctic, a young penguin shows off his moves by hoofing it on the ice.

Get your '80s on with this raunchy comedy about a group of friends who go on a skiing trip and thanks to a magic hot tub, are transported back to the resort's retro heyday.

There's nothing quite like New York in the Winter (when it's not literally too cold to snow) and Serendipity is ridiculously sweet. Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack meet at a department store, share one wonderful date, then try to find one another years later.

See young Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes, and Christian Bale in the charmingly snowy tale about sisters growing up during the Civil War.

Not only does Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) have to defeat seven evil exes, he has to do it in the cold, Canadian snow. Just be glad you don't have to fight Chris Evans today.

Strangers John Candy and Steve Martin team up in a classic comedy to get home in time for Thanksgiving.

Think you're better off inside? Not if you're trapped with Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) and you just killed off her favorite fictional character. If you're into Bates on American Horror Story, check out Misery to see her evil roots.

Frozen is the ultimate snowy day movie. Toss on this Disney classic, don your tiara (you have one, right?) and sing along with the tunes.

Russell Crowe, Hank Azaria, and Burt Reynolds star in this underrated comedy about an Alaskan hockey town whose local players get the chance to play against the New York Rangers.

Saoirse Ronan plays Hanna, one tough 16-year-old. Raised by her father in snowy isolation, she's become the perfect assassin and when her father leaves, her skills are put the the test.

Have you still not seen Cool Runnings? Now is the perfect time to brush up on your new favorite Jamaican bobsled team.

Here's something we've learned about Liam Neeson in the recent years: don't mess with him. Neeson followed up his kick-ass thriller Taken with action films like The A-Team, The Next Three Days, Unknown, and the best of the bunch, a snow-packed survival story called The Grey.

Joel (Jim Carrey) and Clementine (Kate Winslet) are star-crossed lovers who find another once again after they each have their memories wiped of their relationship. The pair live in chilly Montauk, NY, and there are some particularly memorable icy scenes.

Netflix's Let It Snow, based on the book of the same name, is the YA rom-com your snow day needs. Follow along with these characters while they fall in love in the snow.
