Well I am currently sat on a train on my return journey home from a couple of days in London. There’s something still so good about trains, and I always love films with a train in them. So decided to pick my 7 favourites!

Entrapment
Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
What films do you love on a train or with a good train scene?
The Station Agent comes to mind. Cool idea 🙂
I will be adding pictures later, but the train WIFI won’t let me on photobucket!
Ha! You could write a Harry Potter style book too 🙂
Now there’s an idea!
mission impossible
Spiderman 2
Indiana Jones and the last crusade
Planes, trains and automobiles
Stand by me
and of course:
Bridge on the rIver Kwai 🙂
I’ve only seen Spiderman 2 and Mission Impossible from those! Looks like I have found some films to add to my must watch list 🙂
Glad to help 😉
Nice list but no love for Snow Piercer
Oh I haven’t seen that one! Just googled it and sounds decent!!
Enjoy if you do see it
Nice list. You gotta check out Snowpiercer, though. While you’re at it, you might want to give a look to: Unstoppable, Silver Streak, and Under Siege 2.
Your the second person to mention Snowpiercer! I’ve seen Unstoppable!
The Emperor of the North and Runaway Train spring to mind, Narrow Margin isn’t half bad either.
I’ll look into those 🙂
Twentieth Century, The Lady Vanishes, Night Train to Munich, The Palm Beach Story, and North by Northwest all come to mind.
I totally should have thought about North by Northwest! Thanks for the other suggestions 🙂
North By Northwest, Palm Beach Story, The Narrow Margin and Twentieth Century are a few classics on trains. There’s also source code.
Source Code was a contender. Your the second person to mention North By Northwest, I cannot believe I missed that one, especially with how much I am loving Cary Grant again atm.
Check out Hitchcock’s early film The Lady Vanishes.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Strangers on a Train is the definitive film on a train. I love the visuals in that film. I’ve always loved it but studying it for film studies gave me a new perspective on the amazing motifs Hitchcock used.
I defo need to check that one out!
