To 2nd Ave. Saga's list I would add Dutchman (1967), based on the play by Leroi Jones, who then wrote the screenplay. It's an intense psychodrama that takes place entirely in a subway car. It might not be to everyone's taste, but if one is looking for an entire film contained in a single car, this is it.
