What was the criteria the magazine staff used to select the movies? <br /> <br />I noticed that the award-winning Japanese movie "Poppoya" (in English Railroad Man) made in 1999 did not make the list, however, this is an execelent railroad themed movie that appeals to all types of audiences. It has a good story and features various types of trains throughout the movie - steam, diesel cars and snowplow on one of Japan's 42" gauge branchlines. The movie starred Ken Takakura and had the music done by Ryuichi Sakamoto. There were a number of foreign movies on the list, so why did this one get over looked? (For more in on Poppoya, do a search on it in google.) <br /> <br />Also why did "The Great Escape" not make the list? During the break out in Germany, there were a number of train scenes with steam locomotives. Some quite exciting. <br /> <br />Tom <br /> <br />
