What are some movies that take place during the course of one night.
Some that come to my mind are American Graffitti and Collateral, and the great After Hours.
Hey it’s after hours, different rules apply.
It Happened One Night comes to mind.
Lots of’em.
Clerks. Mallrats. Well, technically one day, not night - though Clerks was filmed at night.
ElvisL1ves has the classic answer, though.
Haven’t seen it, but **One Night at McCool’s ** may also qualify.
There was one of those party-people-looking movies that was a one-nighter… 200 Cigarettes? Go?
Evil Dead.
Jezus! Won’t someone buy a Clue.
Rope, an 80-minute film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, takes place over the course of 80 minutes.
Zev Steinhardt
*Into The Night * (1985).
Jim Jarmusch’s fabulous Night on Earth.
From Dusk to Dawn extends a bit past one night, but as the title implies most of it is in one night.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show is pretty much one night as well.
except that It Happened One Night does not take place over the course of one night. They get married and go back to the hotel to bring down the wall of Jeherico.
I mean all of the action takes place over the course of one night. Ideally it should end with the sun coming up so Rope or films like that that just take place over a small ammount of time don’t really count either.
The 25th Hour is one day and one night. It ends with Ed Norton going to jail early in the morning(not a spoiler, it says so on the back of the video).
Die Hard takes place in one night, and I believe Die Hard 2 does as well.
Rebel Without a Cause takes place over a 24-hour period, if that’s allowed to count.
The Anniversary Party happens in one night.
The DaVinci Code will qualify.
Damn you! I’m too slow!
How about Night Train?
Killing Zoe?
Before Sunrise.
Beyond a limited amount of setup, Bachelor Party happens in one night.
I think the first Halloween movie was chiefly one night. Don’t know about the sequels. And Night of the Living Dead, of course.
- Shibb, glad to bring you the lowbrow options.
The Wiz.
The Cube.
There’s the classics of course:
Adventures in Baby-Sitting
Can’t Hardly Wait
Hollywood Knights
Dazed and Confused comes to mind but I can’t verify it.
Nick of Time takes place during an hour or so.
