A (relatively) recent favorite is “Train to Busan”; an old favorite is “The Taking of Pelham 123” (the original with an utterly delightful Walter Matthau, Martin Balsam, Jerry Stiller, and a young Hector Elizondo). “Silver Streak” is another, though it doesn’t really hold up. The train scene in “Trading Places” is hilarious (fun fact: Jamie Lee Curtis couldn’t do a German accent, so she did a Swedish accent, despite wearing lederhosen). And the mother of all train movies? It’s gotta be Buster Keaton’s “The General.”
