Tired of rising costs, delays, cramped aircraft seats and airport Gestapo, many wandering seniors today are returning to railroad journeys. Although U.S. train service hasn’t yet matched the super speed and upscale comfort of those in Europe and Asia, it still offers a sensible and economical alternative to flying.

To get you in the mood for your next train ride, here are our nominees for some great nostalgic film memories:
Planes, Trains And Automobiles; Von Ryan’s Express; Murder On The Orient Express; Strangers On A Train; The Train; Shanghai Express; Some Like It Hot; A Hard Day’s Night; Silver Streak.

They’re all available on DVD, and some you can view any time for free at YouTube and other online sources.
