Best films that take place entirely in one day

[HHR]

I've always loves this conceit, for whatever reason...and rarely does a movie like this end up terrible, imo

There are the OBVIOUS ones, like Die Hard, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Training Day, Reservoir Dogs, etc.....but here are some you maybe/probably/might not have seen....but should.

Elephant
(Warning....you might hate this. Or you'll love it)

The Taking of Pelham 123....the original
so much better than the remake it's embarrassing

His Girl Friday
Rapid fire dialogue...and GREAT performances

Rope
Hitchcock's most underrated film imo

12 Angry Men
Probably should be in the earlier mentions, as it's a god damn CLASSIC...but yeah, see this ASAP if you haven't

 

[Tommy Fits]

12 Angry Men is the first that came to mind

Friday

Speed

Probably others but it's late and those are all I can think of now.

Black Out


hood movie with that black chick from Avatar/Star Trek, Marlo and Wallace from the wire, and Prodigy from Mobb Deep

pulp fiction?

I don't think this qualifies....and I'm not sure anyone has ever pinned down exactly how many days the film covers anyway

I've seen breakdowns/explanations of everything from 2 to 5 days




Also, entirely random tidbit...Groundhog Day technically fits too I guess...but in the OG script, Ramis says that Phil was supposed to have spent 10,000 YEARS in that day

Falling Down
Lots of unintentional comedy

'Rope' is good, I should watch that again, it's been on my netflix que for years. 'Elephant' is the Gus Van Sant one, the school shooter, I hated that shyt, watched it in 2004, but I was drinking and distracted.

That 'Taking of Pelham' was awful. Saw that in the theater. I'll think of at least one. 'Night of the Living Dead', does that count? I know there are some more I'm not thinking of.
