Best Movies That Take Place Within 24 Hours

Movies sometimes take us on a journey of months, years or decades, but there are also some films which manage to fit in complex stories, actual character development and startlingly real emotion inside a small 24 hour window.
There are multiple ways to utilise time. The filmmakers may have used real time, flashbacks, alternative realities or time loops, but they still follow the same ticking clock which seems to make everything all the more intense.
