 Iceman
Iceman, directed by Fred Schepisi, is a fascinating examination of different cultures dressed up as science fiction.
Where Iceman suffers, and whereby it narrowly fails to get top marks, is in its incidental cues.

 Featured Mummy: Oetzi the Iceman, Ötzi the Iceman: Latest News
Although he and his wife were legally declared Ötzi's discoverer last year and therefore eligible to receive compensation of 25 percent of the Iceman's value (estimated to be millions of dollars in museum admission fees alone), a legal proceeding to determine the amount of the final settlement will not begin until November 5th this year.
Additional study of the Iceman's body would help clarify questions surrounding the cause of death: If the officials at the South Tyrol Museum would grant permission, the arrowhead could be removed and an endoscopy performed to determine if any nerves or blood vessels were severed.
Although the Iceman's body was discovered in September 1991 and studied over the years, it was not until June 28, 2001 that the fatal arrowhead was found in Ötzi's body.

Hansen told varying tales of where the Iceman came from, but the gist of his story was that a crew of either Russian or Japanese fishermen had discovered the body off the coast of Siberia, frozen in a giant block of ice.
It is unclear whether the Iceman that Sanderson and Heuvelmans saw was the "original" corpse or Hansen's "fabricated illusion," but in either case, the two experts were stunned.
Heuvelmans had noted an apparent bullet wound in one eye of the Iceman, and he suspected for some reason that it might have been killed in Vietnam.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Iceman
Iceman, part of the first batch of Marvel Comics mutants, was introduced (along with the rest of the first batch) in X-Men #1, dated September, 1963.
Iceman (civilian name, Bobby Drake) was analogous to The Human Torch (young and brash, the team's semi-mature cut-up), but with an opposite super power (the ability to freeze things instantly, rather than burn them).
He even, at an early point in the series, developed a way of using his power to to travel through the air at high speed, analogous to the Torch's flame-powered flight — he'd freeze moisture from the air in front of him and slide along it, leaving a ribbon of ice as his trail.

I had already talked to the investigators who had pursued him, the undercover agent who wore a wire on him, the chief of New Jersey’s Organized Crime and Racketeering Bureau who led the investigation and later prosecuted the state’s case against him, and the judge who sentenced him.
