Line 65:
* ''[[Hard Candy]]''
* ''[[Cellular]]''
* ''[[Ferris BuellersBueller's Day Off (Film)|Ferris Buellers Day Off]]'' in less than 12 hours.
* ''[[Dr. Strangelove]]''
* ''[[The Terminator]]''
Line 88:
* With the possible exception of the final scene, most of ''[[Mystery Team]]'' takes place over the course of a few days.
* Also, it's maybe more like 36 hours, since there's some footage of the next day, but ''Shampoo'' pretty much takes place over the course of one day.
* The majority of ''[[Primer]]'' takes place over about three days. [[Timey -Wimey Ball|Multiple times]]. [[Mind Screw|Probably.]]
* If you exclude the first few opening scenes and the epilogue, ''[[Harry Potter (Film)|Harry Potter]] and the [[Deathly Hallows]]: Part 2'' takes place over the course of less than twenty-four hours. This is also true with the book, as noted below in literature.
* ''[[Buffalo 66]]'' takes place over 24 hours, flashbacks notwithstanding.
Line 101:
* ''[[Nine Dead]]'', aside from a few short scenes at the beginning about how the nine captives were abducted, entirely takes place over the course of about 80 minutes.
* ''[[Margin Call]]'' takes place in a 24-hour period
* ''[[Eleven Minutes Ago]]'' takes place over the course of the wedding reception. The main character, on the other hand, is experiencing it in eleven minute chunks over the course of years. It's a little [[Timey -Wimey Ball|Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey]].
* ''[[Project X]]'' takes place over 24 hours or so.
* The Lihuauan film ''The Girl and the Echo'' takes place within one day. This is mirrored in its alternative title, ''"Paskutine Apostogu Diena"'' ("Last day of Holydays").
Line 170:
* Everything in ''[[King's Quest IV]]'' takes place in 24 hours.
* ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'' has the first cutscene at night, and the game starts the morning after. By the final cutscene, it's the ''next'' morning.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' takes place over the course of 3 days, in the sense that you only have 3 days of game time to finish up before {{spoiler|the moon crashes down on Termina.}} Since it's not possible to do everything in that 3-day span (not that [http://www.gamefaqs.com/n64/197770-the-legend-of-zelda-majoras-mask/faqs/31495 it] [[Self -Imposed Challenge|hasn't been tried]]), the first iteration shows you how to reset time back to the beginning of day 1.
* Both the ''[[When They Cry|When]] [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni|they]] [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni|cry]]'' series uses this, combined with use of a [[Groundhog Day Loop]].
* The first ''[[Max Payne (Video Game)|Max Payne]]'' game took place over the course of three nights (although it includes a flashback to three years prior to that). The sequel lasts about the same amount of time.
