The 13 Best Movies Set on Trains and Subways, Ranked by Whatnerd

"The more confined the space, the more the tension can build. That's why movies set on trains feel so different from most movies. Train carriages can double or even triple the suspense of a murder investigation or bomb threat, forcing characters to face each other with no way to escape their conflicts—whether that be from archenemies, hitmen, or siblings they've been avoiding. Not to mention cabin fever... From silent era comedies to classic whodunits, here are my picks for the best movies that take place on trains or subways and fully make use of their cramped, restricted settings." - whatnerd.com
