163: Jack Frost (1998)

Yes, this is the one where Michael Keaton gets reincarnated as a snowman so he can spend more time with his son. It is not the 1997 horror film about a murderous snowman getting revenge, nor is it the delightful 1979 Rankin-Bass animated special. Kerry and Collin weren't that lucky. "Snow dad is better than no dad," as the old saying goes, but could "Jack Frost" have worked if George Clooney was in the lead, as originally intended? Why is no one amazed they are talking to a talking snowman? What questions would you have for a person reincarnated in such a manner? And who in their right mind would keep their nail polish remover in their nightstand? All these questions, plus Kerry gives three more films from 1,001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, all of which happen to be list-worthy.
