your Favorite 1 day movie

I got thinking about all the movies i own and that some are awesome just because of how long they last like dazed and confused which is 24hrs long.

what is your favorite 24hr or less - timeline movie?

There was a good 80's movie called "Three O'Clock High" that took place in highschool. About a fight at 3:00 pm after school.

Does Groundhog Day count as more than 24 hrs., seeing as it was the same 24 hrs?

Was Crash all in one day? If it was it gets my vote. Three O'Clock High was a great movie.

wow good picks everyone! keep em comming.
it's funny because now that i ask everyone here, i find out i own some of these movies! haha!

i checked back and i own:

Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Four Rooms
Falling Down
Go
From Dusk Till Dawn
assault on precinct 13
Crash
Dazed and Confused
Harold and Kumar go to White Casltle
Clerks

I cant think of any others. but overall, i think the 24hr or less movies are more intense because the story isnt stoped by ppl sleeping or anything like that. it's continuing fun. i might add reservoir dogs because the story of the bank robbery is really short but it's not all within that timeline.

crash starts the night after and then it's a flashback for the whole movie starting the night before to the night after. so night to night = 24hrs. correct me if i'm wrong someone!

I have to go back a little for mine. Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope" is my favorite. It takes place in one evening, and more than that, it's filmed as one take with no scene breaks. Fascinating movie.

There are a lot of great films listed above. My favourite real time film, I think it runs less than a day but it runs in real time, is The Set Up. It stars Robert Ryan as a boxer who has been asked to throw a fight.

Great film.

(now that I think about it, I think it takes place over one hour in real time, so it probably doesn't qualify)

Night on Earth directed by Jim Jarmusch.

It's a collection of five stories involving cab drivers in five different cities across one night. A great movie!

Oh, GOOD call. One of my very favorite movies.

Actually, that whole 1:30-ish movie takes place over about twenty minutes. Features a pre-Life Is Beautiful Roberto Benigni in a HYSTERICAL monologic drive through late-night Rome.

With an excellent soundtrack by Tom Waits, I might add.

I also really liked Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. I saw them for the first time as a double-bill together. That was great.

For a real-time film, I liked Timecode, directed by Mike Figgis. He split the screen into four sections and you followed four interweaving stories simultaniously in seemingly continuous takes.

Was Pulp Fiction contained within one day?

i was trying to think about that. the fight is the night AFTER the restaurant scene so i'm thinking it's 2days. starts in the car going to get the briefcase back and then they go to the bar to see marcelus. Vince goes out with the wife of marcelus. is the fight the same night? because Vince looks for him that night as well and he sees the wife at the fight so it's probably the night after or so.

also, i found a few more that are 24hr movies that i own.
Last Night
Run lola Run
Independence day
Suicide Kings


this is cool. it gave me a few movies to check out!

Rope was based on a play I believe, and the last time I watched it there were at least 3 maybe as many as 5 spots where there could have been ( and probably were) edits.

back on topic ....

Clerks mallrats , (was Dogma a one day wonder?), Go , Die hard ... grrr I know there's another one I like, but can't seem to think of it.


Also, was Alien a one day flick, I never really noticed or thought about it.. a lot happened that day if it was just one day.

Dont think Alien was a one day movie. Although still good.
Have to say Ferris Bueller as a kid i loved that film. Recently have to say go.
One of my all time fav has to be The Warriors that was over one night, trying to get back to Coney Island.

I think The Taking of Pelham 123, a great 70's heist thriller, may be set all in one day. It's fantastic.

sokurov's film "russian ark" is real time.
one continuous shot. a riot of stuff happens, but it's all about the museum in st petersburg and moving through it. amazing.
lots of experimental stuff would fit into this category: warhol's "sleep", michael snow's "wavelength" and "presents"--most performance based films would be at or close to real time, obviously.

one day narrative films are harder. thinking about it...good job so far...

Hard Candy is a good recent one, taking place over a period of a few hours.

High Noon is, I would think, an obvious classic.

The first DOA is very good movie designed to take place over the course of a single day.

Pulp Fiction takes most of two days.
