Check out one of these winter-inspired travel movies.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
It got mixed reviews upon its release in 1989, but the movie has since become a cold-weather classic. Chevy Chase plays Clark Griswold, the optimistic yet bumbling dad that tries to provide his family a classic holiday vacation.
Home Alone II: Lost in New York
Every cinephile knows Home Alone II is superior to Home Alone. While his family travels to Paris for the holidays, Kevin McAllister gets on the wrong plane and takes a trip to New York. Bonus points, our new President makes a cameo.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Planes, Trains and Automobiles is one of Steve Martin’s classics; he plays an uptight executive who must find his way to Chicago with a rambunctious curtain ring salesman. The result is a classic road trip comedy.
In Bruges
Starring Colin Farrell, In Bruges is rather dark, but still funny if you want something different for a winter movie night. The film depicts two hitmen waiting for an assignment in Belgium and getting into various antics while seeing the city.
The Polar Express
Tom Hanks stars as six different characters in this adaptation of the classic children’s book. It polarized audiences, who found it visually stunning, but also a little creepy.
