Beautiful, poignant, full of meaning and hope

I've seen this movie 3 times on television and will buy the DVD for everyone I know. From acting to costumes, cinematography to story line, this thing is brilliant. It is literally an antidote to what ails modern living. You can practically smell the grass on the hillsides and the hunger in their stomachs. Perky, the railway man, is a favorite character. The children were cast superbly. Michael Kitchen as the father--perfect. Lest I am too effusive, let me say that I am a huge British Comedy fan and Anglophile, so maybe I'm predisposed to like this film.
Pick a cold day in winter when you need to hear something positive. Make yourself a cup of tea, have some sandwiches ready, and watch this DVD under a blanket. You'll want to do this repeatedly about once a year for several years. Make it a tradition.


One of the best family films you will EVER watch...

This film is simply brilliant. It is such a refreshing change to watch a film that has not been made by a computer...The story, acting and characters bring this delight of a film to life. Put on your red flannel petticoats and organize a paper chase at once.


A Classic Story for the Entire Family

This 1970 film is a must-see. It is a beloved children's story, but its understated evocation of soon-to-vanish Edwardian England circa 1905 will appeal to all ages. Jenny Agutter leads a superb cast; the lush countryside and period architecture give the film a sumptuous atmosphere. BR> The movie tells an entertaining story, but this story also carefully and lovingly explores themes involving social class, family relationships and growing up. These elements combine to give The Railway Children mutifaceted, enduring appeal. It is fun to watch, but also has gentle lessons to teach.
