The "Films on a Train" Blu-ray thread

[noirjunkie]

A train is one of my favorite film settings, so I thought I'd make a thread dedicated to this sub-genre.

This post is divided into three lists.

1. The first list only includes films that take place at least almost entirely on a train or feature a train that is absolutely central to the plot.

2. The second list includes films that contain at least one pivotal scene that involves a train, but do not feature a train as pivotally as the films in the first list. The second list will be trickier to put together, but in essence, every film on it should feature a train that somehow figures meaningfully into the overall story (in other words, just because a few characters spend a couple minutes on a train, that doesn't mean the train is significant).

3. The third list is a bonus list of films that, as of now, meet the criteria for inclusion in List #1 but have only been released on DVD. Some of them, such as Sudden Fear, are slated for future blu-ray releases, and once they have been released on blu, they'll be moved to list #1.

All lists are organized chronologically. Also, I've decided to include subway films like The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, since subways are basically underground trains.

Please post the films I haven't yet included. If you make a suggestion, please include your rationale for why it belongs on either List #1 or List #2. I might not have seen the film(s) you're suggesting, so you'll need to post your reasoning for why the film(s) in question should be added to the OP. Thanks.
