What is your favorite weather-related movie? I mean a weather movie that centers around weather... Movies like "The Wizard of Oz" do not count.

Twister

I havent seen Key Largo yet, but Twister wasnt bad...Ive heard Atomic Twister isnt bad either.

How can you exclude OZ? It has a flying cow!

That leaves "Twister" which was a great way to apply formula scriptwriting with awesome fx (and a flying cow!). As long as we are talking weather-fiction, there is "The Day After Tomorrow" which was an entertaining suspension of disbeleif. But for true science-fiction, you can hardly beat "An Inconvenient Truth." It won an Oscar!

If you will allow cartoon episodes, I would nominate "The Simpsons - Mr. Plow"

Hey mackbig,

If you are a connoisseur of fine music, check out the variations on a theme of "Mr. Plow" by "Moby"

Do documentaries count? If so mine is "The Plow that Broke the Plains." I think it doesn't hurt that I'm a farmboy, but it's a great movie.

I've been wanting to see Tsunami, The Aftermath (kind of weather related) but haven't found it yet.

If you don't do torrents, is NetFilx available in Thailand?

(sorry, not explaining "torrents" to anyone who doesn't know what they are. Gray area that not all are comfortable with.)

Except at least 7.103 times per day since October 30th

I haven't tried downloading any videos. There are lots of DVD shops around with pretty recent collections but I just haven't seriously gone around to them and searched. I'm interested in seeing the movie but not so much as to make it a "front burner" priority. When I happen to see it, I'll grab it then.

It's worth seeing. Basically it's about the dust bowl and the migration west into the plains and modernization. Lots of great old equipment footage if you like antique tractors, which I do.

i'm a tractor person, and I am interested in early to mid 1900s history, so it sounds like a good flick for me. I'm also a black and white movie fan.

Twister.
Helen Hunt was very easy on the eyes.

I think she was pretty sexy in that movie

There is something about good-looking ladies that like weather that raises my eyebrow

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Perfect Storm" with George Clooney.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #24 on:** January 28, 2011, 08:38:51 PM »

I prefer Helen Hunt over George Clooney... It's just as simple as that
