Title: One Day Movies. Post by: crackers on March 26, 2013, 06:05:23 PM I have just watched Wassap Rockers for the first time which I quite enjoyed and got me thinking, " There are loads of films I like that are all based in a day". Some examples:
Mallrats & Clerks ( not Clerks 2, I can't stress that enough ) Dazed and Confused Breakfast Club Ferris Bullers Day Off I'm sure there are more, but just wandering what your favourites were. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: crackers on March 26, 2013, 06:26:27 PM Oh and Groundhog Day does not count.
Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: Rev. Powell on March 27, 2013, 08:47:02 AM Just saw Richard Linklater's SLACKER and it was set in one day, along his next movie, DAZED AND CONFUSED.
THE BREAKFAST CLUB counts. So does AMERICAN GRAFFITI. Also 12 ANGRY MEN. One of the reasons that so many movies occur in a one-day time frame is that Aristotle said they should. No kidding; Greek tragedies almost always covered a one-day time span and for years it was considered an informal rule for dramas. Many storytellers consider it a challenge to fit a story into a single day. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: major jay on March 27, 2013, 09:13:12 AM DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY
Just watched this last weekend. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Well, it happens during one night. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: FatFreddysCat on March 27, 2013, 10:38:38 AM First one I thought of was the 80s teen movie "Three O'Clock High," which takes place over the course of one school day.

* THE TOWERING INFERNO * THE OUT-OF-TOWNERS (actually, crosses over into the next day, but it all takes place within 24 hours) Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: ChaosTheory on March 29, 2013, 03:26:27 PM HIGH NOON
It's been a while since I've watched it, but I think GO takes place over a 24-hour period. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: lester1/2jr on March 30, 2013, 08:10:47 AM Do the Right Thing was kind of a ridiculous blaxploitation movie in retrospect
Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: Bushma on March 30, 2013, 09:45:32 AM * THE TOWERING INFERNO That reminded me of : The Poseidon Adventure. Also: Adventures is Babysitting Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: SynapticBoomstick on March 31, 2013, 04:21:28 AM Feast took place in a brutally short amount of time. I don't know for sure about the second one, I'd have to watch it again, and I havn't seen the third one.
Splinter (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031280/?ref_=sr_1) is another one. I really like that movie, the concept for the monster is awesome and the effects work is great. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: dean on March 31, 2013, 10:00:49 AM Run Lola Run
Not sure if it counts, as I'm a little hazy on solar cycles in space, but I think Alien was all one day. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: Umaril Has Returned on March 31, 2013, 12:13:45 PM Oh and Groundhog Day does not count. Clever :smile: Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: tracy on April 01, 2013, 01:36:58 PM Oh and Groundhog Day does not count. LOL....you read my mind. I love The Breakfast Club.....great character study of the teenage mind. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: BoyScoutKevin on April 01, 2013, 05:07:15 PM And then there was real time.
It is a film concept where an event in a film takes the same amount of time in a film that it'd take, if it happened in real life. Over 100 films, shorts, TV programs, and video games have used this film concept. Here are seven that I've seen. From the longest to the shortest time in minutes, and, of course, they all took place within one day. Fantastic Voyage 100 12 Angry Men (1957) 96 Clue 94 Nick of Time 90 High Noon 85 The Rope 80 The Set-up 73 There just might be something to the concept, as of the seven films I've seen, there is not one that I disliked. Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: The Fake Macoy on April 01, 2013, 10:12:52 PM Escape from New York and I'm pretty sure Escape from LA take place in a day.

Would you class Cloverfield as one of these? Title: Re: One Day Movies. Post by: rebel_1812 on April 02, 2013, 06:54:02 PM And then there was real time.
