Thursday Movie Picks: The Cold

Welcome to another week of Thursday Movie Picks, the weekly series hosted by Wandering Through the Shelves that anyone can join, you just need to pick three to five movies —TV series on the last Thursday of each month— to fit the theme, which this week is the cold. So cover yourself, have a cup of tea handy, and keep reading to find out which movies I'm picking today.

Dead Snow (2009)

A group of medical students decides to spend their vacation in an isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by snow, and finds themselves confronted by Nazi zombies. I hated this film but it fits pretty well. Also, it has the best zombies ever as they climb trees, run and stab people. Okay, they are Nazi, but still, they are pretty cool for zombies.

Fargo (1996)

Jerry (William H. Macy) hires two men (Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare) to kidnap his wife (Kristin Rudrüd) so he can get his rich father-in-law to pay the ransom. Unfortunately, those two men are two idiots, and as if that wasn't enough there is also a persistent police officer (Frances McDormand) investigating. This is the first film that came to my mind because there's snow everywhere, it's cold, and I don't envy McDormand at all! 

Wind River (2017)

While tracking down a lion, Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) discovers the frozen body of a young Native American woman (Kelsey Asbille), a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) is set to investigate the murder, and he joins her to unravel the mystery. One of the most powerful movies on 2017, snubbed because Weinstein produced it.
