Cool Train Films:
You forgot "The Lady Vanishes" (original version, natch).
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In short if it's on a train or has "Shanghai" in the title (like, the must see "Shanghai Gesture") it's worth taking a flyer on.
I enquired of my Shanghainese wife whether she would agree with you. She approves of your message.

Teppy, that's so funny! Because one time over Christmas, Mom and I happened to hear that same song that Matt did in the gay chorus, and so I told my mother that and about his "high school boyfriend" Ben. She thought it was really funny just from my description.

I love Silver Streak! Of course, not more than The Lady Vanishes or The Palm Beach Story. I remember being disappointed by Twentieth Century.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Lady Eve isn't really a train movie, but does have one key (and brutally hilarious) scene on a train.

I saw Black Swan the other day and I really liked it. I went in knowing absolutely nothing about it. Polter-Cow, I agree with basically everything you said about it a bunch of posts ago. I thought it was very well put together, and there always a chance that I'm just slow, but it kept me guessing the whole time. Not 100% believable, of course, but that never really bothers me in a movie anyway.
I desperately want to see True Grit, The King's Speech, and Rabbit Hole - I don't think the last one is out everywhere yet. If it is anything like the play it is based on it will be amazing.
