They're funny. I like the first 30 minutes because of the humour, I guess its what's been called British humour. All of the passengers are just annoyed to be inconvenienced by the train's delay and everyone is just so uncomfortable and awkward with each other.

I just start my own blog and added my train movies, which was harder than I thought as I only wanted to do movies I have seen. I did Mission Impossible, Under Seige 2 and Money Train.cubsfan810https://www.blogger.com/profile/13838610330893023639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-24029639582634906902015-09-11T17:44:02.105+08:002015-09-11T17:44:02.105+08:00I can understand why people disliked the first thi...I can understand why people disliked the first thirty minutes, it does sure take its sweet time getting going but it does introduce characters well. I loved Charters and Caldicott, they are soooo British. Embody every stereotype there is. I think we should bring them back.

Strangers on a Train is ...Love the Hitchcock picks. Strangers on a Train is such a tense, well made film. Such a shame Walker died right after, so much talent wasted. <br /><br />The Lady Vanishes is excellent as well though I prefer Strangers, Peter Bogdanovich directed a remake in the 70's which stinks on ice. Speaking of which I hope the proposed redo of SOAT that is being bandied about now falls though. I don't have a problem with remakes if the original had a good premise that could be improved on, Oceans Eleven is a good example, but if its perfect as is let it be, you're riding for a fall.<br /><br />Haven't seen Darjeeling, I usually can't stand Owen Wilson so I've avoided it.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-19145712669960379312015-09-10T22:45:35.182+08:002015-09-10T22:45:35.182+08:00OK I LOVE Strangers on a Train and must have seen ...OK I LOVE Strangers on a Train and must have seen it at least 10 times. Robert Walker deserved an Oscar for this and i think it is one of Hitchcock's best! I also picked The Lady Vanishes and find it one of Hitchcock's early stylish films.
