[taterguy]

1. Body Heat

[GoddessOfGuinness]

2. Sounds sweaty

[TheCentepedeShoes]

19. What I was going to say

Cool movie.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

26. So what's it about?

[TheCentepedeShoes]

37. Scheming wife

(Kathleen Turner) involves not-to-bright lawyer/lover (William Hurt) in plot to kill rich hubby (Richard Crenna). Made in early '80's before Turner got...well...fat. Set in south Florida. Lots of mopping brows/ceiling fans. Seems like nobody has AC.

3. March Of The Penguins

Was an amazing film. I saw it three times in the theatres. As soon as it came out on DVD, I bought a copy. My neices love it. So do I!

Q

[GoddessOfGuinness]

4. It really is a beautiful film...

I took my son and his best buddy to see it last summer. They were enthralled.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

5. White Fang

[MoseyWalker]

6. Was the recent movie

called Eight Below? About dogs in I guess Alaska? I still want to see that one, and had forgotten that I wanted to see it until I read your post.

I don't know why I want to see it, but I do.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

7. I just saw that in the store the other day...

Is it about sled racing?

10. Sounds like a winner!

[nuxvomica]

9. The Day After Tomorrow, The Thing, Dr. Zhivago,

I think Day After Tomorrow must be the coldest movie ever.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. Good ones!

I love the Zhivago scene where he's writing his poems in the frozen mansion...

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Snowboard videos always do the trick for me.

16. They should show winter sports from the Southern hemisphere

during our summers.

13. Scott of the Antarctic

If you want to listen to something to keep you cool, check out Vaughan William's Seven Symphony. He wrote the score for the film, then incorporated the themes into the symphonic work. The sounds will chill you to the bone.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

17. I love Sinfonia Antarctica!

I love Vaughan WIlliams' music in general....

[sarge43]

30. Sistah!

He's a much underrated composer, IMHO. His 3rd Symphony, mmmmmmmmm.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

31. That's the "Pastoral", no?

I've always wanted to play it. Love the soprano solo!

[sarge43]

32. Yes.

Love song for the English countryside.

14. Ice Station Zebra

Used to work for me. :D

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I never saw that...

[u4ic]

25. Submarines, lots of water,

and eventually the North Pole. :hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

27. Ahh...

Refreshing!

[Blue_In_AK]

15. The Fast Runner ((Atanarjuat)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007L4ON/104-4829279-5655927?v=glance&n=130

It'll cool you right down, guaranteed.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

20. That sounds like a great movie!

Thanks!

[u4ic]

22. Great choice!!

Forgot all about it. You'll have frostbite by the end...:D

21. hellew? Ice Age I & II? My dog Lola is the reincarnation of the squirrel..

and we love her so.

She does a look we call "lint roller".

[Radio_Lady]

24. No Photo of Lola? Is she a Chihuahua?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

28. Great choice!

I'll watch the 1st one with my little guy today!

[Radio_Lady]

23. Waterworld. (Oh, forget that one... it's pretty awful.)

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. I haven't watched it yet, but

Mr GoG seems to like it...
Maybe it's a guy thing? :shrug:

[Radio_Lady]

33. There's no accounting for taste. Here's the site at the IMDB.

http://www.us.imdb.com/title/tt0114898/

Waterworld (1995)

Almost 25,000 viewers have given it only a 5.4/10 rating. That's not great...

[Patiod]

34. Shackleton's Anarctic Adventure (in IMAX)

surround yourself with gorgeous views of glaciers, imagine being stuck there for months, and then feel appreciative that you're not freezing/starving to death.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

35. IMAX theaters....

What a great way to spend a hot day!

[MissMillie]

36. Mystery Alaska
