Was there a rule against TV movies? I was not aware of it (How can one tell when one sees a film on TV or DVD whether it was or was not released in theatres in the country of origin?). Anyway, to make up for it, here are some more railway stations

51.De Wisselwachter (The Pointsman, 1986), features an abandoned platform guarded only by a pointsman.
52. The Cassandra Crossing (1979), several railway stations in Europe are featured and on one the passngers are locked into the train.
53. Hip Hip Hora (The Ketchup Effect (amazingly bad rendition of the title, which translates as "hip hip whore"), 2004), urban train station.
54. Mitt liv som hund (My Life as a Dog, 1985), Ingemar is seen off by his uncle and picked up by another at different railway stations.
55. Central do Brasil (1998) Dora works at the central railway station in Rio.

I should have specified NO TV movies, but I didn't in this quiz and am going to let the list stand as it is. I did, however, specifiy "a scene in/at a Railroad/railway station (close to the tracks is OK, too, but not on a train)".

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096872/ should tell us whether it's a TV movie.

We're past 50 now, so let's move on to "s". (No TV movies)

S = Suicide, or attempted suicide.

1. A Star is Born

2. It's a Wonderful Life

I think I have now used It's a Wonderful Life at least three times in this game: once for "ice", a second time for railway stations, and now for George Bailey's suicide attempt.

It's a Wonderful Life as Everymovie.


3. Girl, Interrupted
4. Ordinary People

5. 'night, Mother

Stage-managing that play really made me think about suicide for the first time in my life...

6. Fatal Attraction
7. Lethal Weapon

Suicide, now there's a typical northern plot device:

10. Lija 4-ever (2002), jump from motorway overpass

There was a suicide in Butterfly effect but I can't picture the actual scene anymore. Still, in the end the protagonist kills himself at birth:
71. The Butterfly Effect (2004)
72. O Melissokomos (The Beekeeper, 1986), bees
73. I Hired a Contract Killer (1990), hanging, gas, hit man
74. Monster's Ball (2001), handgun

I guess if someone contemplates suicide, i.e. gets onto the railing of a bridge, but for some reason does not jump, does that still constitute an attempt? (Like in it's a Wonderful life the protagonist does jump, but no longer to kill himself, since he was distracted from his plan). If so, then the following attempts can be mentioned:
75. Forrest Gump (1994), aborted jump from bannister
76. Noel (2004), aborted jump from quay
77. Yamakasi (2002), aborted jump from window ledge
78. The Dreamers (2003), gas
79. Après vous (2003), hanging
80. L'Emmerdeur (1973), diverse
