List by Robert Paulson
Single Day Movies
Here's a collection of films which take place entirely or almost entirely over the course of a 24 hour period or less.
Know of any others? Leave them as suggestions in the comments!
*Some films contain brief prologues, epilogues, or flashbacks outside of the main 24 hour period -- or play with the conventions of time -- but still they primarily take place over the course of a single day.
I love how surprising so many of these are when you actually stop to think about it.
It still amazes me that the Harry Potter series - where every entry covered an entire school year of story - ends with a movie that (outside of the epilogue) takes place over a maybe 16 or 17 hour period.
I don't see La Haine.
Thanks! Added!
