Hey, for some strange reason I always enjoy movies that set against 'extreme weather conditions'. For example, Hard Rain... not particularly a great film but for some reason I like it. Dreamcatcher... stupid a hell movie, but again... I like it... after a while I realised its the backdrop. So, here's where I'm asking for any all movies that have extreme weather as a plot trait. Doesn't necessarily have to be horror, but horror is always good too Backdrop of exteme weather30 Days of Night El Alamein Alive Ba'al Dreamcatcher The Fog Frozen Ghostkeeper Hard Rain The Illustrated Man The Last Winter The Mist The Perfect Storm Pitch Black The Shining Stalingrad Storm of the Century The Thing X-Files: I want to Believe Yeti - Curse of the Snow Demon Shit hollywood end of the world crappiness I didn't really want listed in the thread but actually fits the description2012 Dante's Peak The Day After Tomorrow Twister Volcano Leaving off because they just don't seem to fit at all... either because its not a major part, its not 'weather' or its none of the aboveCliff Hanger Flight of the Phoenix Screamers (its just an alien planet and not so harsh, i won't include dune either, even though its kinda similar) Stargate (huh?) Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home Sunshine (okay so they are heading to the sun, but its run of the mill scifi) Vertical Limit Being at see doesn't count, so titanic, etc don't fit either.

30 Days of Night The Thing Alive Yeti - curse of the snow Demon Stalingrad El Alamein - in the line of Fire
All are extreme snow conditions, except for the last one, which is in the desert.

I think I like these movies for the same reason I like movies set in caves, underground facilities, under water, or space. It provides a nice sense of claustrophobia or no escape.
