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.
