Y'all... they're watching an infinitely better movie than #FrightClub is 😆 and I know this without even having seen tonight's FC flick

I gotta tell you, in good conscience, you should join #ImpromptuTheater tonight for #TheTakingOfPelhamOneTwoThree because it's amazing

I was late, but SO MUCH FUN watching "Pelham" with all of you. 😀

I think it could place well on a separate "The Most 70's Films of the 70's." 😉

After this movie was released, the New York City Transit Authority barred its planners from scheduling trains leaving Pelham station at 1:23 a.m. or p.m., realizing that it would become too much of a reminder to the public.

Martin Balsam’s career should be studied. Another person who was in everything à la Ward Bond. #TheTakingOfPelhamOneTwoThree #TCMParty

The famous final scene was not in the novel. It was created for the film and remains one of the most iconic punchlines in film.

David Shire's best film score.

I love the line, "You can do it yourself at the arraignment." I also love Jerry Stiller's delivery. #TheTakingOfPelhamOneTwoThree #TCMParty

This is the only film where Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw worked together…and they only appear in one scene together.
