At the Box Office: Snow Daze

There’s no sense fighting it. It’s time to make friends with winter. And what better way than with an extra—buttery bowl of popcorn and an awesome movie. Our only criterion for narrowing down the list? They should all star the same shameless scene-stealer: Winter. Some of its performances are light and fluffy, others are dramatic—a few might chill you to the bone. Happy snow daze.
