Subway Stories: Tales from the Underground is a film made in 1997 and produced by Home Box Office for television. It began as a contest among New Yorkers who submitted stories about their experiences within the New York City Subway. HBO picked ten of the stories and cast mostly well-known or accomplished actors (such as Denis Leary, Bonnie Hunt, Rosie Perez and Bill Irwin), and ten well-respected directors (such as Jonathan Demme, Ted Demme, Abel Ferrara, Craig McKay, Julie Dash, and Bob Balaban).
Subway Stories, structured similarly to films such as Paris, Je t'aime and New York, I Love You, is divided according to director into short films, each with their own title, but strung almost seamlessly together.
Subway Stories continues to be acclaimed by prominent critics and viewers alike. 3blackchicks.com states it as "honest, humorous and even moving at times."
Despite such acclaim for the film, HBO initially only released it on VHS in the United States, although it was later released on Region 4 DVD (Australasia, and Central and South America). HBO released the film on Region 1 DVD (North America) on October 16, 2007.
