The Ice Storm (1997) During the 1973 Thanksgiving weekend, the Hoods are – relationship-wise, skidding out-of-control, isolated from each other; Benjamin reels from drink-to-drink, His wife, Elena’s losing patience with Ben’s incessant lies. Home for the holidays, their son, Paul, heads into Manhattan, in search of a rich girl from his prep school. Wendy, the teenage daughter, roams the neighborhood, exploring the liquor and lingerie of her friends’ parents, looking for something – anything – new. Then, an ice storm hits, and their problems seem inconsequential, and nothing will ever be the same. ??Emory Herbertson Awards: 6 wins & 33 nominations totalBudget: $18,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $8,038,061Soundtrack: Dirty Love (Written by Frank Zappa)
