Trains aren’t just for little kids and unnerving adult enthusiasts — there are plenty of movies that take a ride on the rails for fun and profit. All aboard for these six train flicks:
Snowpiercer (2013)
From our review: “For reasons that aren’t clear, the only people who survived are ones that jumped on board a globe-trotting train. You know, just one of those many trains we have that circle the globe on tracks that, I guess, go across the Atlantic and Pacific.”
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987)
From our review: “The feeling I got through the whole of PT&A was that it was a two-man play. A rather large, elaborately set play, mind you, but a play nonetheless.”
Train to Busan (2016)
From our review: “The ignorance of the situation works well for a confined setting like a bullet train, because people aren’t quite in a full-fledged panic over the Z-word. That changes, and right quick, when an infected dashes aboard and starts a one-woman outbreak that rapidly spreads from car to car.”

The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
From our review: “It stays far away from the bright lights and family atmosphere NYC has tried so hard to cultivate in the last fifteen years, preferring instead to dwell in the gray and grungy alleys and dark, isolated subway platforms that inhabit everyone’s worst fears about New York after dark.”
Source Code (2011)
From our review: “I’m happy to say that Source Code is probably one of those few movies I’d easily recommend to just about anyone if I was asked for a good recommendation and didn’t have to worry about catering to specific personalities.”
Eurotrip (2004)
From our review: “Eurotrip’s theme, if I can attempt to sum up this movie’s equivalent of four years of advanced calculus into a brief fragment, is about these four friends going from point A to B, having some sort of [check one of the following: bizarre, sexy, disturbing, hilarious] escapade, and repeating in a new locale.”
