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

How you gonna mention all of these silly ass films and not mention the GOAT...
