movies that take place in one day (or less) - a list (film, Reservoir Dogs)

[oeccscclhjhn]

Let's make a list. I'll start:

Die Hard (1988)

[Miss Hepburn]

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[Igor Blevin]

The Breakfast Club

Collateral might take place over one 24 hour day.

I think American Graffiti might take place over one 24 hour day.

Reservoir dogs seems like one day but there are flashbacks that aren't, so that is pushing it.

Weekend at Bernie's is pretty close but misses. I think it is about 48 hours.

[Igor Blevin]

The Longest Day.

Or was all the planning leading up to D-Day in the beginning of the film? Drat, that could be more than 1 day. I am forgetting how the movie starts. If it start with dropping the paratroopers, then it is 1 day.
