Out Cold (2001 film)
Out Cold is a 2001 American comedy film about a group of snowboarders in Alaska. It is the first feature film by the music video directing team The Malloys, after codirecting the surfing documentary Thicker than Water 2000 with musician Jack Johnson. The film presents itself as a parody of 1980s ski school movies and makes a number of references to the film Casablanca. A number of elements of the latter, including plot and famous lines, were incorporated into Out Cold.
