you left out the DeNiro flick Midnight Run--the train scene
Wasn't Casablanca's famous scene at a runway?
Fight Club although i say it essentially sucks, but is a hoot to watch; Strangers on a Train is hardly about the train! and Fight Club uses the same device as Stranger: meeting the dopelganger.
Top Gun THE movie that exemplifies the Reagan era genre of military recouping its status
The Spirit of St. Louis Billy Wilder's mythologized American Inventor/Can Do spirit!
Planes, Trains and Automobiles just think it's one of the funniest flicks ever--esp for turkey day.
at any rate, if you're going to include Strangers on a Train then you'd have to include a slew of flicks that use an plane or airport meeting or mix up and i can't even think of them all!
airport goodbye and welcome scenes too-- especially the ones with the portable stairs...

ahhh but the fine art of the quickie demands a different set of skills.
