February 2nd is Ground Hog day which is a tradition in North America...
according to folklore, if a ground hog sees it's shadow, it will leave
its burrow conveying that winter will soon end. Conversely, if the
ground hog fails to see its shadow and retreats back to the burrow,
winter is expected to continue for six more weeks. With Ground Hog day
in mind... the theme for today will be films about individuals who
predict the weather such as the weatherman/woman and films about
inclement weather to commemorate such a holiday... enjoy!
Movies about Weather People
1 Ground Hog Day (1993) Director Harold Ramis
Unusual
film starring Bill Murray as weatherman who is going out to cover
ground hog day for the news and keeps experiencing the same day over and
over again...
2 To Die For (1995) Director Gus Van Sant
Dark
film starring Nicole Kidman as TV personality (weather girl) who will
do anything to climb up in her profession-Kidman is great in her
portrayal...
Movies about Inclement Weather
1 The Shining (1980) Director Stanley Kubrick
Based
on the novel by Stephen King-tells the story of a family isolated in a
hotel for the winter where the husband of the family (Jack Nicholson)
goes mad due to cabin fever- Nicholson is great in his portrayal...
2 The Ice Storm (1997) Director Ang Lee
Chronicles the life of a middle class family in the nineteen seventies... set against the back drop of an ice storm...
I hope the above list provides many hours of cinematic entertainment... enjoy!
