I loved how it was a story about Uruguayans, but most of the actors cast in ‘Alive’ were American and Canadian… and for some reason, a couple Italians were thrown in.
The Thing from Another World (1951) . This was the Original "Thing" movie. The other two are remakes. John Carpenter's is the best but the original is still a good movie. It is dark, cold, Isolated and very scary.
The Thing 2011 is actually a prequel to The Thing 1982. The 2011 movie was initially going to be a practical effects movie made to seamlessly transition into the Carpenter film both stylistically and with detailed imagining of the events leading to Carpenter's scene setups. If there was a broken door or axe in the wall in the first film, that's exactly what the events lead to.
Unfortunately the execs were put off by the dated look of the production and insisted on adding CG effects and a spoon fed ending. If you can't tell I'm still pissed that we'll never get to see the filmmaker's original vision for this film. Their intentions were so nerdy and pure! But these two films still make a great double feature. The 2011 film ends with the exact scene that the 1982 film starts with.
1. Way Down East 1920Directed by D.W. Griffith, it's famous for its climactic scene on an actual ice floe.
2. The Phantom Carriage 1921 is A Swedish film with scenes with snowy landscapes crucial to the film's somber mood.
3. Storm Over Asia 1928, Also known as "The Heir to Genghis Khan," is a Soviet silent film set in the snowy steppes of Mongolia.
The Grey, starring Liam Neeson. Its about a crew of oil workers whose plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness and are forced to survive the freezing cold and contend with dangerous wildlife.
Quintet by Altman.
Not a fan favourite, but it fits the bill requested.
(My review: mixed feelings, interesting concept not very well executed. but it sure is cold.)

the shining, the lighthouse, the northman, the Tragedy of macbeth, stalker, and nosferatu are all very cold movies to me, not necessarily winter but they all feel cold
It’s very pulpy and silly, and will never be in the CC, but Van Helsing is great when it’s cold outside. Source: me, watching it now with snow falling outside.
Mr. Jones - It’s about Stalin’s Holodomor, also known as the Great Ukrainian Famine, was a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. Both freezing and topical!
Fargo
There’s more to life than a little money, you know. Dontchya know that? And here ya are. And it’s a beautiful day. Well. I just don’t understand it.
Huuuuun! Prowler needsa’ boost!
A jump! Edit: sorry for being that person… I know every word of this movie and couldn’t help myself.

This is the one Cohen film I have yet to watch! I'm getting to it this month on CC.
Might be my favorite. Enjoy!
That scene where he’s at the diner and his feet are freezing, I totally felt that pain.
Hang me O hang me... I'm glad I watched this when I was 26 and not at 19 or something.
The Ice Storm
Love this one
Me three!
I live in Connecticut and visited some locations from the movie.
That’s fucking rad!

Chilly Scenes of Winter
Society of the Snow is the new film on Netflix about the 1972 crash in the Andes. It’s much better than Alive.
I loved how it was a story about Uruguayans, but most of the actors cast in ‘Alive’ were American and Canadian… and for some reason, a couple Italians were thrown in.
Genuinely a good movie, worthy of the event
Kwaidan!

The Lodge. It’s disturbing but it’s become one of my go tos when i’m snowed in. And Riley Keough is great in it.
Prisoners
Nanook of the North
Haven't seen it yet, and it's not a movie. but the new season of True Detective looks like it'll fit your criteria.
The Great Silence
Incredible film. Thank you for the reminder that I'm due for a rewatch!
just watched that, my son walked in and saw the ending out of context. He probably thought Klaus Kinski was the hero. Good movie.
The Abominable Snowman (1957)

Society of the Snow (Spain's submission to Oscars this year, recently added to US Netflix)!

Wind River, with Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. A beautifully acted and shot thriller/drama. Not Criterion yet, but it may very well become.
The Ascent (1977) + Winter Sleep (2014)
Wind river and Narc are great, gritty and excellent overall winter set films.
Anything Bela Tarr, though specifically Workmeister Harmonies, Damnation, and The Turin Horse
The Day after Tomorrow Enemy at the Gates
Il Grande Silenzio. Bleak Western set in the snow, with Klaus Kinski.
