Just saw Sean Connery in the Great Train Robbery. What a terrible movie. A demo of how to make a bad movie.

The guards are not very sharp. Old fashioned and over confident. What happened to the guys? Any sharks around there.

    - Loved it. - Bill the K 20:10:59 03/11/25 (0)
      Especially certain scenes. But wanted McQueen to jump over and escape. That firing squad scene has haunted me for years. A superb movie indeed.

Runaway Train is to me a neglected classic.
Rebecca de Mornay: "You're an ANIMAL!!"
Jon Voigt: "Worse. HUMAN"
...and a fantastic performance by Eric Roberts

  . . . as for Rebecca de Mornay, well, an actress she ain't - at least IMHO. Near the end, when she says, "He knows what he wants to do!" (as her voice trails off unconvincingly) - it never fails to make me wince! In fact, it became a joke over the years at our house - from time to time (and out of the blue), each of us would suddenly deliver the line just as she did - to the amusement of the rest of the family!
  
  But that's OK - I agree with you that it's still a great movie! ;-)
  
  And I love their use of a movement from the Vivaldi Gloria (in a heavy, romantic Russian performance) near the end too - great use of music there, perfect for the scene! Speaking of which, the director, Andrei Konchalovsky, also did a production of Boris Godunov in Italy, using Mussorgsky's original version rather than the more colorful Rimsky-Korsakov version - also available on blu-ray.

I can watch it over and over.
