"instead of going big, sometimes films go small, opting for a single location setting. These might consist of films set in one room, feature characters trapped in a single location, or maybe even be set onboard public transport, such as a train. But with all the vast locations films can take us to, is it really possible to create a compelling narrative while predominantly using just one, relatively small location?
Well, when it comes to trains, decades of filmmakers have thought so, with numerous movies being set in part, or fully on board a range of locomotive transport. David Leitch's Bullet Train is the latest film of the sort to pull into cinematic stations, so it's the perfect time to consider if films set on these smaller railroad settings can still entertain in a big way. And ultimately decide what are the very best movies set on trains."
