Recommended Snowpocalypse Viewing

There are two viewing philosphies for winter: either it sets an ideal stage for viewing cold-related movies, or it should be combatted with warmth-related movies. Here's a short list of films for both philosophies. Feel free to post your suggestions in the comments.

Cold:
Batman and Robin
Goodfellas (for the freezer scene)
March of the Penguins
The Ice Storm
Mystic, Alaska
Happy Feet
Titanic
Television: Northern Exposure

Warm:
Do the Right Thing
Barton Fink
Whispers of the Heart (you could also include Our Neighbor Totoro and Porco Rosso - Miazaki clearly has a thing for summer.)
The first act of Sleepers
Backdraft
12 Angry Men
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Cool Hand Luke
Television: Burn Notice
Miami Vice, Hawaii 5-Oh, &c.
There's also an episode in the first season of Dream On where Martin starts sleeping with his Super after she fixes the air conditioning in his apartment, but I may be out-obscure-referencing even myself here.
