In fact, both Halloween and Halloween II take place on the same night.

Thanks,
I’m specifically looking for movies that go from sundown to sunup. Mostly I’ve had a basic idea for a screenplay/story and this is type of story structure I’m thinking about. I find these films facinating, especially the non-horror/thriller ones. Before Sunrise is a great suggestion.
Yes I want it to be at night. A movie that takes place during the course of the day just isn’t the same. People don’t usually stay up all night. If you have ever worked the overnight shift you know how it just is ‘different’ from the day shift.
Eyes Wide Shut is another one. That’s one long night, (too long if you ask me) but like American Graffiti the characters at sunrise are different from who they were at sundown.
I haven’t seen Eyes Wide Shut since it came out, but I know it takes place over a few days, at least a couple.
Last year’s French film Jet Lag with Jean Reno and Juliette Binoche is mostly sundown to sunrise.
I thought it was a terrible movie, FWIW.
I caught a fairly amusing movie called Groove on cable a while back. Basically the story of several groups of twenty-somethings in San Francisco attending (or getting lost trying to find) a particular rave. Good soundtrack (if you’re into that kind of thing) and a pretty realistic portrayal of an Ecstasy-fueled all nighter.
Two girls and a guy with Robert Downey, Heather Graham and Natasha Wagner.
