I haven't seen most of these, but now I want to! I like your point about the visceral feeling of winter and experiencing how oppressive it is through film. I think that is maybe what separates winter from holiday movies for me. Holiday movies are warm and cozy, celebrating of the season, which is not typically to take an inward look at oneself. I'm a sucker for the imagery of suppression, secrets, and darkness, because the weather matches that so well. Thanks for another thoughtful piece! :D

Excellent recap of winter movies. My choice of winter movies are usually holiday themed 😀
