5. Mike Sutton - July 19, 2006

In which case I’ll have to put down

The White Dawn

6. JohnH - July 19, 2006

Fold! :D

7. jackal - July 20, 2006

A few more for sweating out the hot weather …

Rear Window
Bad Day at Black Rock
The Bribe
Inferno (1953)
Run for the Sun

… and plenty of ice-cold refreshment. Gulp.

8. Ian W - July 20, 2006

The Hot -
Flight of the Phoenix
Lawrence of Arabia (can’t believe nobody’s already put that one)

The Cold -
Smilla’s Sense of Snow

And something with a bit of both -
The Man Who Would Be King

9. Mike Sutton - July 20, 2006

Two more cold classics - “The Brood” and “The Sweet Hereafter”

10. michael - July 20, 2006

‘Pathfinder’ is pretty unbeatable on the “cold” front - as is the Icelandic film ‘Cold Fever’…

11. Mike Sutton - July 20, 2006

More heat:

Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia (all those darn Mexican flies)
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (see above)
Beau Geste
Close My Eyes (Best ever evocation of a hot British summer for my money although the plot leaves much to be desired)
The Cement Garden
Night of the Big Heat

12. JohnH - July 20, 2006

I don’t know whether I need a cold beer or a warm overcoat…

Overcoat: ‘The Great Silence’, ‘Fargo’

Beer: ‘The English Patient’, ‘Ben Hur’
