Wind

Just watching 'The Holiday' with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz - so far so run of the mill. Watching Kate getting blown about in the Santa Anna winds made me think of Great Winds in the Movies:
1) The Sarf Lunden trees rustling in Antonioni's Blow Up (never thought about it before but blowing [up] is as important in the park as the darkroom)
2) The crazy Himilayan wind in Powell + Pressburger's Black Narcissus which drives Kathleen Byron over the edge
