blimey...you could list a million fillummms here: <br /> <br />The Train, Von Ryans Express, one utterly awful film starring Roger Moore and Michael Caine whose name I have thankfully forgotten. However the classic documentary is "Night Mail". This is a homage to the overnight postal sorting train from London to Scotland. It was directed by the King of docu realism in John Grierson for the GPO (General Post Office) Film Unit; in those days the major nationalised industries had these offshoots. I am sure that the UK posters will remember Briti***ransport Films. The film is basically following a train from London to Scotland, with a heavy emphasis on those work the train (a lot was shot in the studio), set to the poetry of W.H.Auden and the music of John Betjemen.
