Surviving Snowmageddon

Here we go again!  Snowmageddon is upon us, and, after raiding the grocery store for every roll of toilet paper and loaf of bread you can carry (along with a life saving supply of Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby), you will need something to do in between shoveling sessions.

It's a perfect weekend to watch some movies, but who wants to watch Dr. Zhivago, The Empire Strikes Back, The Day After Tomorrow or some other movie featuring piles and piles of snow that still look puny next to that mountain of white stuff at the end of your complex's parking lot?

Let some DVDs take you away from the cold for a few hours.

Gone With The Wind - It's a classic some people consider to be one of the greatest movies ever made, but who has 4 hours to sit down and watch the whole thing?!?!?!  You do this weekend.  That big fire scene will probably warm you up as well.

Adventureland - A college kid who thought he was heading to New York for grad school, Jesse Eisenberg (that kid from Zombieland), finds himself stuck working at the local, rundown amusement park for the summer.  However, that doesn't sound so bad as he gets to know Kristen Stewart.  Funny, poignant and full of awesome 80's alternative tunes (The Replacements rock!!!!!)

Blue Hawaii - It's Hawaii, Elvis Presley, surfing, girls in bikinis and a cheesy love story!  What's not to love?  Plus, you will feel like you are hosting a Luau in your living room, and that's a party I want to be invited to. 

Little Miss Sunshine - It has sunshine right in the title!  While your family would usually be much more normal when compared to these people, dysfunction could be slipping into your world late Sunday morning as cabin fever strikes.  Little Miss Sunshine will teach you what signs of nuttiness to look for, and how to cope with them.  As an added bonus, they are driving from New Mexico to California, so all of the roads are plowed and you don't have to worry about a spot of black ice.

Point Break - They're skydiving, surfing bank robbers lead by Patrick Swayze, and Keanu Reeves needs to infiltrate their gang.  Whoa!  Directed by Kathryn Bigelow (2010 Oscar nominee for The Hurt Locker), Point Break is full of action, buff dudes and classic campy moments.

Superbad - Remember what it was like to be in high school and the biggest problem you faced was trying to impress the ladies?  Instead of worrying about the roof caving in from too much snow, or the pipes bursting from the cold, sit down and watch Michael Cera and Jonah Hill have the craziest night two high school kids have ever experienced.  Bonus points if you can tell us which state issued McLovin's illegal ID.   

What are some other great DVDs for a snowy weekend?
