Unless they're calling it another adaptation. There is simply no need for one.<br /><br /><br />The ending to The Train is questionable, I agree but its mainly a fondness of the memory too. Plus, my Dad loves it.Katie Hoganhttp://eversoethnicallyconfused.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530796381730510727.post-16644399664179747752015-09-13T01:32:17.545+01:002015-09-13T01:32:17.545+01:00Thanks! it definitely is essential - one of Hitcoc...Thanks! it definitely is essential - one of Hitcock's best I think.Katie Hoganhttp://eversoethnicallyconfused.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530796381730510727.post-30249655648607721212015-09-13T01:31:26.240+01:002015-09-13T01:31:26.240+01:00I had to search quite a while to see Snowpiercer, ...I had to search quite a while to see Snowpiercer, wish I had seen it in better quality.

The scene which you're tallking about from Strangers on a Train is just superb. Didnt knoe Snowpiercer was on Netflix, must be on US only. I had to scout it out through the highways and biways of the internet.Katie Hoganhttp://eversoethnicallyconfused.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530796381730510727.post-86641319993109296192015-09-13T01:27:21.769+01:002015-09-13T01:27:21.769+01:00Thanks!

I love The Train and discussed this movie before since it came out the year I was born. I also had talked about Strangers on a Train a few months back and it is one of my all time favourite-the scene where the wife meets her maker is pure cinema! I have not seen Snowpiercer yet but I have to rent it.(I don't have netflix)Birgit Bedeskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530796381730510727.post-13218162762961638702015-09-10T23:35:53.215+01:002015-09-10T23:35:53.215+01:00Strangers on a Train is one I am putting on my que...Strangers on a Train is one I am putting on my queue right now.

HItchcock didn't want to use Ruth Roman, finding her bristling, but I really like her in the film and Farley Granger gives a good account of himself but the showcase performances are Marion Lorne, just marvelous as Bruno's cuckoo mother, the director's daughter Patricia as Roman's sister Barbara and best of all of course Robert Walker as the fiendish Bruno. Such a great piece of work it seems incredible now that it was ignored come nomination time, especially since his time was so short after it came out. Hope the proposed redo falls apart, there's no need for it, this one's perfect.<br /><br /><br />The Train is a great catch, I liked it but didn't love it finding it ponderous at times. Still overall it's a good film and glad to see you throw a little light on it.<br /><br /><br />I haven't seen Snowpiercer but it's on my list.joelnoxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530796381730510727.post-26916705605433078642015-09-10T12:45:35.788+01:002015-09-10T12:45:35.788+01:00I love Snowpiercer!

If I remember right, I think it went on VOD shortly after and broke a bunch of records?
