Eight Below--I had fairly low expectations going in, just figured it would be a cute, cheezy dog movie, but it was pretty amazing! Not to mention a huge tear jerker. Supposed to take place in Antartica, but it was mostly filmed in Canada, with some filming in Greenland and a set. The dogs were beautiful, and great actors.
I had a Malamute as a child, so the movie brought back a lot of happy and sad memories for me.
