One Room Movies

[Bigal]

Bit of research for Film Studies; could anyone name any movies where everything takes place in one room, or at most, a hotel suite (or similar)? I've been racking my brains and can't get any.

Do pornos count?

Breakfast Club, kinda.

12 Angry Men. 98% of the film takes place in a jury room, where they are deliberating.

Rope by Hitchcock.

Apparently there is a film called Tape (Richard Linklater, 2001, Rated R) as well, that is a one room movie.

How about Phone Booth? That is pretty much a one place film,

Saw

I don't think Saw would count as there's a fair bit of it that takes place outside the bathroom. Phone Booth would be a good one to use.

Phone Booth is all over the place.

Like Thrilla said Tape is all set in a hotel room. I'm assuming the connected bathroom counts. Maybe it doesn't.

A large portion of that takes place outside the warehouse

It's all inside the warehouse bar one scene isn't it?

[Bigal]

Nope. All of the flashbacks take place outside of it, and there's the diner. I guess you could count them going out to Mr. Blonde's car too.

[Thrilla]

No.

But the main movie storyline takes place inside, the flashbacks I don't count myself, but I guess you're right.

The Matrix all takes place inside a computer

[Bigal]

Star Wars all takes place inside a galaxy

Rope by Alfred Hitchcock takes place in an apartment and nowhere else.

Thinking about it, Rear Window takes place on an appartment/balcony too >_>
