Blazing Saddles

If it wasn't for the train needing to be re-routed through the town or Rock Ridge, there would be no premise for the movie.

And there would have been no need for Heddy----"That's Hedley" Lamarr to appoint Sheriff Bart or Slim Pickens character to do a "No. 6" on the town of Rock Ridge.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Rob the Flyer both ways.
Nobody’s done that before.
Harvey thought of that?
That’s exactly what we’re going to do.

Keaton was nuts with his stunts in this. Crazy it’s almost 100 years old.

We'll make it past the cops. I just hope we don't see no Muslims.

Recommending Kontroll for a good subway flick.



I suggested it in an art house thread a few weeks ago, though it's not really an art film (it's fairly traditionally structured). Pretty much the whole movie takes place in the Budapest subway. Soundtrack and cinematography are excellent, though I don't think anything above a 720p press exists for home media yet.

I really enjoyed Unstoppable. Kind of simple yet highly entertaining.



Entertaining but not realistic at all.

Need to add the Jason subway scene when he is in NYC. Just casually strolling through and everyone just assumes he is just another weirdo on the subway in New York.

Hmmm, not a movie per se, but the best train video is this live number by Blackfoot:
