Train column

[edit]

This page would be more useful with a column for the kind of train(s) (and perhaps something about the treatment of trains). This way if someone were interested in some particular era of train they would be able to discover films that were relevant. --Jake (talk) 18:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems unnecessarily pedantic. The point is the movies' setting, not the details of the trains per se. mrs (talk) 06:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Full setting vs. only some scenes

[edit]

I think it would be better to separate the films into two categories: those that are mostly set on a train (e.g. Murder on the Orient Express, Runaway Express, Train de vie, Strangers on a Train), and those that just feature at least one relevant scene set on a train (e.g. Broken Arrow, Doctor Zhivago, Before Sunrise).

Yeah, that part bothered me too. I would not have put 39 Steps in the list, but The Lady Vanishes clearly belongs. Still, I was happy to find a list at all.

Citations Needed?

[edit]

The entry talks about missing citations; however, the film titles are linked to pages for those films. I've only checked some of those, but asking for additional citations here, if the details are on the respective film pages, seems redundant to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark R Stoneman (talkcontribs) 06:42, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
