Trains

[version]

There's a film starring Hugh Grant, Malcolm McDowell and Raquel Welch's daughter called Night Train to Venice where Grant's on the Orient Express being pursued by a gang of Neo-Nazis and McDowell just sort of hovers around smirking and being enigmatic and seems to be The Devil or some sort of evil magician. It's bonkers. Also one of the worst films I've ever seen.

@craner , have you seen it?

No, it sounds amazing.

Seriously. Watch it. A glorious mess.

I've got it on a double-sided DVD with The Lawnmower Man.

 

[craner]

I definitely will, it looks fucking incredible.

Sounds like the one with Hugh Grant on a cruise liner which is also kinda nuts and, arguably, not conventionally good. It's Polanski I should say.

Very tenuous.

Very tenuous.

Bit of a reach but I think it qualifies because its so instrumental in the plot

Interesting counter point to my "All songs about trains are good" axiom.
But there must be a half decent take on Murder On The Orient Express... also The Lady Vanishes of course.

No way... the film isn't set on a train... come on. Be honest with yourself.

 

[IdleRich]

I've not seen Snakes on a Train but it sounds promising...

 

[catalog]

Yeah but they're all dressed up and everything, it's new year, it's farcical, come on rich

It's not set on a train, but a pivotal sequence is

Throw Momma From The Train...

Perhaps a thread on train scenes?
