The marvelous Magnolia Posted by Johnny Roarke is reckless (Member # 9826) on :
It's been years since i've seen it, but i think Steven Spielberg's Duel (1971) qualifies as well.

Yeah, the 1952 classic High Noon. It tells the story in nearly real-time, just under 90 minutes.
Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :
Another movie that takes place during the course of a day (and into the evening) is "Phone Booth" (2002), starring Colin Farrell.
Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
This is another film that could be germane here. Modern Girls (1986).
Posted by StevenHW (Member # 509) on :
I haven't seen the movie, but I think there's one out there that takes place during an afternoon, and then into late-night, and finally the next morning. It's titled "Margin Call" (2011).
Dog Day Afternoon (1975) starts late in the afternoon and into the same evening.
My Dinner With Andre (1981) takes place exactly two hours.
Alfred Hitchc0ck's "Rope" (1948) was shot in just 10 continous takes.
Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" (1966), based on Edward Albee's Broadway play, takes place one late-night.
Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
I have another one with which I'm familiar. The Crossing (1990).
Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
Here is another one that I have. Don's Party (1976).
