Throw Momma from the Train is a 1987 American crime comedy film starring and directed by Danny DeVito in his theatrical directorial debut. It co-stars Billy Crystal, Anne Ramsey, Rob Reiner, Branford Marsalis, Kim Greist and Kate Mulgrew.[1]

The title comes from Patti Page's 1956 hit song "Mama from the Train (A Kiss, A Kiss)".[2] The film was inspired by the 1951 Alfred Hitchcock thriller Strangers on a Train,[3] which is also seen in the film.[4]

The film received mixed reviews, but was a commercial success. Anne Ramsey was praised for her portrayal of the overbearing Mrs. Lift; she won a Saturn Award and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
