Ranker's 25 Best Movies That Take Place in One Day

Some cinematic narratives develop over the course of years, decades, maybe even centuries. And then there are the movies in which the entire story takes place in 24 hours or less. Here are the best one day movies.
A lot of films that take place over one day are obvious selections. High Noon practically develops in real time. You probably also recall The Breakfast Club, which takes place from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm on a Saturday. (Ranker)
