Train Movies
One of the most magical movies featuring at train is the Polar
Express. It brings back the joy we felt as children waiting for
Santa Claus. This makes it a remarkable movie that appeals to
people of all ages. Even though it is a Christmas time movie,
many people enjoy watching it anytime they want to feel carefree
and happy. The movie is computer animated which gives it a very
unique design.
The film Polar Express features one of the best actors around,
Tom Hanks who plays five different characters. This film tells
the story of only those who truly believe in Santa Clause can
help save his ability to bring presents to children all over the
world. The boy is asked to go to the North Pole with Santa Claus
in an effort to show him what really exists there.
A great deal of the movie takes place on the Polar Express, the
name of the locomotive that magically takes Santa Claus to and
from the North Pole. The steam engine featured in the movie is
based on a real one that is in a train museum known as the 1225.
Tom Cruise has been well known for various movies over the
years, but none of them compare with the popularity of Mission
Impossible. In fact, it has two very successful sequels under
its belt. There is plenty of action in all of them, but the most
memorable takes place in the first Mission Impossible movie.
Cruise is seen in some tough stunts that he makes look realistic
on the top of a speeding train.
Many of the early westerns feature amazing scenes with various
types of trains in them. It isn’t uncommon for gunfights to be
taking place on top of these moving trains. In fact, it is very
possible that the scenes for that popular Mission Impossible
movie were developed from this core idea that had been in the
movies so many years ago.
Some movies don’t feature the train in them for very long, but
the train still plays an important role in the movie. The Harry
Potter series is very popular and you will find the children
ride the train to and from Hogwarts at the beginning and the end
of every movie. In many ways this train has become a trademark
of the shows. It also signifies their movement from the normal
world to the world of magic.
By the title, you may think the movie Derailed featuring
Jennifer Aniston is going to be about a train disaster. Yet this
is a very intriguing movie that details the delicate webs of
lies and deceptions that can take place for money. Her character
plays a manipulative woman who pretends to fall for married men
on the commuter train. When they meet at a hotel room and
intruder rapes her.
Later in the movie you find out the rapist is really her
husband. Everything is a set up to make the men she meets on the
trains feel sorry for her. They are also willing to give her
money not to tell anyone about their affair, especially their
wives. You will be on the edge of your seat watching the story
unfold as it has many twists and turns.
Of course we can’t talk about train movies without including
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. This is a hilarious comedy with
Steve Martin and John Candy. The story is about a businessman
who is desperately trying to get home to spend Thanksgiving with
his family.
There are plenty of movies out there featuring trains. Some
people enjoy the entire movie and others place it on their
favorites list simply for the action involving the trains
itself. Trains are such an important part of our society and our
global economy that it is only fitting they find their way onto
the big screen to offer us quality entertainment.
