College Memories #17: Atomic Train

This is one of my favorite memories, yet it's such a simple thing and likely a "had to be there" story.

My freshman year, a bunch of us were watching a movie (in the Sutton basement TV room, for all you GFU alum). As we were watching it, we realized why we'd never heard of the movie, Atomic Train before. It was horrible! Originally a made for TV mini-series, it's 168 minutes long but felt like it took about 6 hours. Every single disaster possible occurred in this movie. One guy died, then came back as a different character later in the movie and died again!

If ever you are in need of a completely brainless, so-bad-it's-good movie for watching with a group of friends, Atomic Train is just the ticket. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague!

Sounds like the movie I took my Girl Scouts to see at Chunky's one time. It was called Dante's Peak and even though it was a "thriller" we laughed through the whole thing.
