In 1904, three London children move to the country after their father is falsely imprisoned, forced to live in poverty in rural Yorkshire. But the children don't simply wait for an adult to save the day. As soon as they have the chance, they try and free their father themselves - with their optimism mirrored in that which runs through this much-loved movie. Although set more than 100 years ago, The Railway Children has a timeless quality, offering adventure and excitement, but grounding those thrills in the everyday.

    I really liked the film because the children got the gold watch.I give it 5/5 stars. I thought that boy will get run over by the train.I cant believe that their house turned into a hospital for the boy.It was happy when the childrens dad came back and I thought that he was in jail for 5 years but he did not go to jail.It made my teacher cry.

    At first I thought wasn't a very good film but when it got near the end it was really good.I liked when all the three children went round to Mr Perk's house and they showed him his brithday presnts.This film does stir emotions because it made Mrs Lawnce cry .

    It is an excellent film!But it has bits that you can't understand because no-one is speaking.It has loads of emotions and I think you should watch it.
