The sight of Gene Wilder blacking-up under the tutelage of Richard Pryor is enough to get this lightweight comedy-thriller cancelled faster than a train on strike day. But there’s still plenty to enjoy, from a sleeping-compartment scene between Wilder and Jill Clayburgh, which is interrupted by a grisly shock, to the lively supporting cast (Ned Bea...
This bonkers Bollywood spin on Speed downgrades the suspense of the original by putting the bomb on the London-to-Glasgow Virgin Express. Product placement precludes any damage: Virgin would scarcely have supplied one of its trains if there was a risk it might be trashed. The nearest the film gets to actual peril comes when the train jumps points w...
Wes Anderson’s Indian sojourn is far from his best but it earns a place on this list for its adoring portrait of the melancholy joys of train travel. The movie is bookended by scenes of characters running for trains – a businessman played by Bill Murray fails to catch his at the start, while three brothers (Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wil...
The artist Doug Aitken’s hypnotic documentary comprises 62 one-minute films shot during a 2013 “happening” on a 24-day train journey between the east and west coasts of the US. Incorporating conversation, performance, music (Beck, Cat Power, Thurston Moore) and travelogue, the film invites direct comparisons between the cinema screen and the landsc...
Class tensions bubble over in this frenzied zombie horror from Yeon Sang-ho, just as they did in his compatriot Bong Joon-ho’s earlier train-based thriller Snowpiercer. The undead are rampaging through a bullet train as it speeds from Seoul to Busan. They’re bloodthirsty, they’re unstoppable and their Two Together railcards have probably expired.
Director Sidney Lumet’s agent called it “the dumb train movie” but the cast – Albert Finney as Hercule Poirot, and suspects including Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, John Gielgud and Ingrid Bergman, who won the Oscar for best supporting actress – gives this jolly mystery (interiors shot at Elstree) the feel of a luxurious chocolate-box with very few t...
The post wends its way from London to Scotland in the wee small hours in this influential, poetic short made for £2,000 by the GPO’s Film Unit. The high-calibre personnel include director John Grierson, WH Auden (who penned the verse commentary), Alberto Cavalcanti (later the director of Went the Day Well?), who was responsible for the evocative us...
Made in 1981 but shelved by the powers-that-be until 1987. More than a decade before he embarked on his Three Colours trilogy, Krzysztof Kieślowski presented this Three Trains scenario, in which the same man runs to catch a train to Warsaw in three parallel realities, each with its own grim outcome. Sprinkle it with romcom stardust and call it Slid...
Drawn to the material by a childhood love of train sets, and by the realisation that the railway track resembles a strip of celluloid, Lars von Trier boxed himself into an expressionistic corner with this hyper-stylised thriller set aboard a German train in 1945. For all its visual razzle-dazzle, this tale of a trainee conductor contending with Naz...
As in Billy Wilder’s later Some Like It Hot, the train sequence in Preston Sturges’s masterpiece is merely a small but memorable part of the larger screwball shenanigans. The ragtag oddballs here don’t even seem to realise they are confined to a train: the delirious millionaire reprobates of the Ale and Quail Hunting Club, with whom unhappily marri...
