Seen any good Train Movies Lately?

One of my picks would be "The General" with Buster Keaton. I love the scene where the herorine helps Keaton feed the engine with wood.

All the movies listed were good, but, IMO, the absolute best train movie ever made is "The Train" with Burt Lancaster. Not only is there constant steam train activity, it is also a great action flick set during World War II.

I'd like to see Emperor of the North. Gotta watch for it on cable.

I have the Great Locomotive Chase. It's pretty good considering its a Disney movie.

Never did see that Pee Wee's Big Adventure though.

Another good one is a more recent one by Disney called "Iron Will". Based on a Boy named Will living in a Depression Era town that's only there because of the Railroad, who enters a Dog Race to save his family's farm. Lots of steam action in it.

The Great Locomotive Chase is on dvd now too! And, let's not forget the train scenes in Pee Wee's Big Adventure! "Jimmy crack corn and I don't care - AAAAAHAHAHAHAHH!"

It's on Turner Classic Movies ? I didn't expect that to be on there for another 50 or so years. I'm watching my DVD copy of the movie as I am typing.

All three mentioned are GREAT train flicks. I really like Fried Green Tomatoes, even though it's considered a "chick flick." That prewar setting is perfect.

Once a year about now I watch Emporer of the North with Lee Marvin and Ernest Boughnine.

Hey Ya'll

Any one seen any good train movies lately, or movies that had trains in them?

I saw two.

One was "Fried Green Tomatoes" based on Fannie Flags novel "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. There are lots of good train sceanes in them. In the beginning, a character named Buddy, gets run over by a huge steam locomotive. And lots of train action after that too.

Another was "Stand By Me". It was okay, but ont as good as Fried Green Tomatoes. Stand By Me is basically a Train Movie, though it's not meant to be. Almost in every sceane you see a Railroad Track.

Fried Green Tomatoes is a good movie based in a fictional town called Whitsle Stop Alabama. It would be a good movie without the trains too. A must for train fans. The DVD can be bought a Walmart of Walmart.com

Stand By Me would be terrible without the trains, but it is pretty good with them. This DVD can also be purchased at Walmart or on Walmart.com

Please Share any Movies that you have seen that are about trains or have trains in them.
