This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Train Movies (Suggested by John Hitchcock)

---




Hey everyone! This week's theme was suggested by John Hitchcock @ HitchcocksWorld. There has been quite a number of train set movies in recent years but trouble is I don't think I've really love love most of them so I'm going with some older picks.

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
I don't know where The Darjeeling Limited would rank in Wes Anderson's filmography, but I certainly like it. Possibly more than his most recent. Best of all it fits today's theme perfectly.

The Lady Vanishes (1938)
A young woman realises an elderly lady she recently became acquainted with has disappeared on the train they are traveling on. She tries to enlist fellow passengers to help find the missing lady but some of the passengers have oddly claim to never have seen such a person. For some reason I thought this movie was made much later, I didn't know it is that old. One of those rare times I like a very old movie. I was reading the IMDB message boards today and it seem people didn't like the first 30 minutes. No...why? I thought it was a good introduction to the characters with some funny bits.
Strangers on a Train (1951)
Yep another Hitchcock film. Can't help it. It's one of my favourites. If you have yet to check this one out, do it now; it's one of those movies that's referenced a lot. While this has much less scenes on a train unlike my other picks today, the train does play a major role in the plot which is very simple really. As per the title: two strangers meet on a train, each has someone in their life they want to be rid off. One of them pitches a scheme to swap murders because without connection and motive prosecution has a weaker case. The other thinks it is all just empty silly talk until one of them does the deed.
