We are in the middle of a hideous heat wave that is going to kill us all. Our only hope is to keep watching movies that feature people lounging around in their bulky winter gear the way Victoria’s Secret models lounge around in their underwear. Below are 25 movies on Netflix Instant that you can stare at longingly as you try to bring your body core temperature down.

ARCTIC BLAST – Australian exploitation legend, Brian Trenchard-Smith (BMX Bandits, Dead End Drive-In), turns in a hilariously awful horror movie about killer cold weather.

ANTARCTIC JOURNAL – several South Koreans slowly freeze to death in the Antarctic. Sounds like the best trip ever.

ATM – shot in the middle of a Manitoba winter, a bunch of under-dressed people get trapped in an ATM and stalked by a guy in a heavy winter parka. Have you ever heard a phrase sexier than “in the middle of a Manitoba winter”?

APRIL SNOW – this Korean romance is about people moodily watching snow fall outside their windows, which gives them sadness boners and makes them both depressed and horny.

BREAKHEART PASS – Charles Bronson is on a train to cowboy country because there are…oh, who cares. It’s snowing!

CANNIBAL THE MUSICAL – the South Park guys make a musical about the Donner Party. As we all know, the Donner Party were so excited to be snowed in one week that they ate each other.

THE CORRIDOR – an indie-thriller-horror movie about some friends who get together for a bonding weekend at a snowy cabin in the woods. You won’t be able to follow the plot because you’ll be drooling over the snowy forest scenery.

DEAD SNOW – zombie Nazis are dumb as dirt, but when they’re in Norway they are just cute little frozen ice cubes of race hate.

GOON – a movie about ice hockey. They had me at “ice.”

THE GREY – there is so much wonderful ice and snow in this film about Liam Neeson and some wolves romping in a winter wonderland that I can almost forgive them for spelling “gray” like pretentious Europeans.

HYPOTHERMIA – it may or may not be very good, but when Michael Rooker goes ice fishing you’ll want to rest your feverish face against the TV screen.

A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE – it may be a horrible way to die, but at least it happens in the winter and everyone bundles up tight in a sassy selection of parkas, sweaters, and down jackets.

IT’S A PLEASURE – this Sonja Henie musical from the 40′s features a nightclub with a solid ice dance floor. Sold!

JINGLE ALL THE WAY – the only thing colder than the winter scenery in this film are Sinbad’s fashion choices…which are super-cool.

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN – a little vampire girl gallivants through the snow with her pre-pubescent boyfriend. Bulky Sweater Watch: high.

MIDNIGHT EAGLE – Japanese movie about a plane where are the passengers get so hot that they crash it into the snow-covered Hida mountains. Then everyone runs outside and makes snow angels.

NORTH FACE – people get so outrageously overheated that they climb a freezing cold mountain and die.

RARE EXPORTS – any movie about a killer Santa Claus in Finland is bound to feature lots of scenes set in the snow, and on the winter precipitation front this flick doesn’t disappoint.

TRADING PLACES – the ultimate Christmas movie. Also, it takes place in Philadelphia which looks bleak and wintry even in Spring.

TOKYO GODFATHERS – so many scenes of animated snow. Sooo many. Also, it takes place on Christmas Eve and features a bunch of homeless people who are always cold and shivering, so it’s like watching temperature porn.

VIBRATOR – Japanese movie about sex that takes place in the middle of winter when everyone dresses in layers. Also, the sex is sort of cold and inhuman, so that helps keep the temperature low.

THE THING – given the amount of Arctic scenery on view, and the way Kurt Russell’s beard keeps freezing solid, you can finally masturbate to John Carpenter’s holiday film and not feel like a total pervert.

TROLLHUNTER – it takes place in Norway. In the Winter. Outdoors. ‘Nuff said.

YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES – little known fact: YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES takes place in the middle of winter and the bad guy dies by falling into the frozen River Thames. Which sounds heavenly.

UNITED RED ARMY – Japanese socialists torture each other to death, mostly in the freezing cold, and mostly in remote mountain locations. The ending is like an orgasm made of ice.
