I'll place "Insomnia" on hold.
and make No. 39
39. Savage Innocents - the movie in which Anthony Quinn is an Eskimo. Lots of igloos.
Yes, paaskynen, the summer solstice was a major plot element in "Insomnia". The events in the film take place in the extreme northern part of Norway. There was a lot of action in the film around a lake that was at least partially frozen (if I remember correctly).

You are probably right, having had it on my mind, I have recalled more scenes, the fog and the lake. I believe it was a glacier lake. I rented the US remake yesterday, as I hadn't seen it before. It has ice in it too. It was not that bad except that the plot was made more transparant and then the name of the hero "Dormer" (close to "to sleep" or "sleeper" in French) was bit too obvious, and after he had killed his partner he was "hap"less
Decoys (2004) is a not-so-good horror movie that features ice in different ways.
I am already curious what
J will be...
To Die for with Nicole Kidman and Splash

Ice Age
Titanic? is it already on?
A Night to Remember
Meet me in St Louis?
Lots of good ones for "ice", but we've passed the "50" mark, so let's move on to "j".
J = jury (a movie with a "trial by jury" scene.)
1. 12 Angry Men
2. Witness for the Prosecution
The Fugitive
A Few Good Men
My Cousin Vinnie
"The Return of Martin Guerre" has a fascinating trial scene with a panel of judges functioning as a jury.
