Here's a paraphrased list of the 20 films with dreadful weather:
A cold front is about to bring some bad news for those who love a good rom-com: Frozen is at number 20 on this list. It may be a Disney classic, but it's not exactly the coziest film, especially when you consider that Elsa has the power to turn her surroundings into a "perpetual winter" - which isn't exactly conducive to romance.
If you're looking for some chill vibes, The Shining is at number 19. Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's novel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of dreadful weather, but it does have its fair share of unsettling scenes set in a snowbound hotel. Those who say "there's no place like home" might need to reconsider after seeing Jack Nicholson's family being driven mad by the isolation.
The Blade Runner at number 18 is more about atmospheric design than actual inclement weather - yet, you can't help but feel like something's off when the rain just won't quit. Maybe it's just because of all those slick sci-fi outfits that are better suited to a Miami vice shoot-out than a dystopian future.
Force Majeure at number 17 is more about how people react to perceived weather conditions, making it harder to pinpoint exactly what makes this film so dreadful. But let's say the avalanche in question did nothing for the tension - and then there were Josh Gad's annoying snowman to contend with.
You know what they say: "The things that go around come back again" - which is exactly how The Thing from number 16 got on this list. John Carpenter's horror classic relies as much on isolation as it does on, you guessed it, things coming out of the ice in Antarctica. Try to imagine this film in a lovely springtime meadow and you'll lose all its power.
Hard Rain at number 15 is one for the ages - even if the weather isn't actually that bad. This 90s thriller tries to be serious but ends up being enjoyably silly, mainly because Morgan Freeman plays a baddie who's not exactly the most intimidating guy on screen.
Everest at number 14 might seem like just another mountain movie, but it really is about survival in a climate crisis situation. The 2015 film tells the true story of eight climbers caught in a blizzard in 1996 and ended up with tragic consequences. It's still hard to watch today, mainly because some of those people didn't have to die.
Take Shelter at number 13 showcases how some partnerships can be truly unbeatable - especially when it comes to weather-related horrors. Michael Shannon shines in this 2011 film as a man plagued by visions of terrible storms, but is he mentally ill or just trying to prepare for the apocalypse?
Into the Wild has been a cultural phenomenon since its release in 2007, largely thanks to Sean Penn's retelling of Christopher McCandless's true story. It's not exactly about dreadful weather - more about how some people show up unprepared for all sorts of natural disasters and end up needing rescue.
The Impossible at number 11 is actually a dramatisation of the real-life Indian Ocean tsunami from 2004, but its depiction of the aftermath is what makes it a truly terrible watch. You can almost smell the desperation in Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts's performances as survivors trying to find each other amidst the chaos.
The Revenant at number 10 might seem like an odd choice, mainly because there aren't exactly any scenes featuring snow or ice - but that doesn't mean it has a dreadful weather problem. This film is all about survival in prehistoric times, and Leonardo DiCaprio's character ends up enduring more physical punishment than any human should ever have to.
Twister at number 9 is actually fun - mainly because of its over-the-top premise: what if there were tornadoes that could be chased? The answer, unfortunately, isn't as exciting as this film would make it out to be. It's still a thrilling disaster movie from the mid-90s, but don't expect any real gore or fatalities.
Sharknado at number 8 has one thing going for it: its ridiculous premise. Who wouldn't want to watch a shark-filled tornado wreak havoc on Los Angeles? The only problem is that this film has all of Sharknado's sequels and some truly cringeworthy moments from the earlier entries.
Magnolia at number 7 might seem like an odd choice - mainly because Paul Thomas Anderson doesn't exactly have a track record for weather-related horror. But then there are those million frogs falling from the sky, which makes this film a true wild card on this list.
The Day After Tomorrow at number 6 is the perfect storm of terrible films: it's actually based on a real-life event, features strong performances and showcases Roland Emmerich's signature apocalyptic flair. It's not exactly fun to watch, mainly because some of those people didn't have to die.
The Poseidon Adventure at number 5 might seem like an unlikely candidate - after all, what could possibly be dreadful about the world's first luxury cruise liner being sent to Davy Jones's locker by a massive tsunami? But this is more than just another disaster movie; it's actually a gripping thriller featuring some of the best performances in the genre.
Noah at number 4 might seem like an odd choice - mainly because Darren Aronofsky's take on the biblical classic isn't exactly horror-themed. However, with Ray Winstone and Emma Watson starring alongside one another (and Ray Winstone's over-the-top performance being particularly memorable), this is a film that you won't want to miss.
The Mist at number 3 takes a different approach to dreadful weather: what if your biggest fear wasn't the tornado outside but the monstrous creatures lurking inside? Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's novel might not be as thrilling as The Fog, but it's still an absolute masterpiece of creature feature storytelling - mainly because its ending is pure camp gold.
The Perfect Storm at number 2 showcases how some films just hit a nerve. Based on the true story of those ill-fated fishermen from 1991, this film features some genuinely harrowing scenes that will leave you wondering if we'll ever learn to predict the weather (Spoiler alert: probably not).
And finally, All Is Lost at number 1 is a tiny masterpiece featuring only one actor - Robert Redford, who has a face so beautiful it's enough to make you forget that he's been thrown off his boat into shark-infested waters. This film showcases the true power of acting and filmmaking, mainly because what little dialogue there is barely registers above the wind, but what we do see from Redford is pure magic.

and i'm DYING to watch them all!!! i mean, who doesn't love a good stormy night or a zombie apocalypse? 
my top pick would be The Mist at number 3 tho - that ending is EVERYTHING 
Frank Darabont really knows how to build tension and the ending tho 
... i mean, take frozen, for example - it's not the cold itself that's so terrifying, but the way elsa's powers disrupt the natural order and make everyone feel anxious about their own emotions 
... it's almost like how our weather affects us on a daily basis, you know? some days we're feeling all sunny and optimistic, while others are stormy and gloomy 
... what if we could harness that same energy to create art or music that captures the essence of dreadful weather? 
️. And don't even get me started on Stanley Kubrick's direction - that film's more about atmosphere than actual inclement weather... but still, it's super unsettling 
.
, "dreadful weather" just isn't something I'd associate with these iconic movies! What's next gonna get trashed? Force Majeure at 17 is a total chill film, and The Mist at 3 has some of the most epic creature features ever 
. And don't even get me started on All Is Lost - it's like a masterclass in subtlety... but I guess that's not as thrilling as explosions or whatever 
but seriously, have you seen The Mist? that's some next level creepy weather vibes going on 
anyone else still giving me the chills thinking about those monsters lurking inside? 
I mean, Frozen might not be the coziest film or whatever, but it's still a Disney movie with awesome music and lovable characters. Maybe we should just let people enjoy their rom-coms in peace without judging them based on the weather conditions? 
. The Shining at number 19? Come on, it's not exactly about the weather, more like Stanley Kubrick's masterclass in atmospheric tension 
. And at number 8, Sharknado? 
. And The Day After Tomorrow at number 6? It's like they took every disaster movie cliche and mashed them all together into one messy film 
.
. It's all about keeping us in a state of perpetual fear. And have you noticed that most of the movies on this list feature extreme weather conditions? Coincidence? I think not 
and i'm like what's wrong with frozen 
but anyway i think force majeure at number 17 is kinda creepy? the avalanche scene freaks me out 
and josh gad's annoying snowman just adds to it 
especially with the ones at number 5 & 6 which are literally just a bunch of ppl dyin in random disasters 
still gotta give it to Roland Emmerich tho for makin some iconic apocalyptic flicks, but idk if The Day After Tomorrow is really somethin i'd wanna watch again 
And I agree with The Thing from number 16 being on this list, isolation makes that horror movie so terrifying
