Let's make a list.
Rules
1) The main events of the movie fill up all or most of a single day and/or night.
2) Movies with prologues and epilogues that occur on a separate day are allowed.
3) Flashbacks and flashforwards are allowed, so long as the majority of the story takes place during one day/night.
The only ones I can think of are:
Mallrats
Clerks
Dazed and Confused
One Fine Day
Detroit Rock City
200 Cigarettes

Silent Hill
Jurassic Park
Alice In Wonderland
FIGHT.
Dazed and Confused as well.
And technically Shaun of the Dead is pretty lengthy...
The day before the zombie's come, the day the zombies come, and then three months after the zombies left.
Is Jurassic Park really only one day? I feel like it might be two...it's night when the first stuff with the T-rex happens and then it's day again after that.
shareOf all the movies listed i'm surprised some of the best great ones have not been mentioned.
1. The Goonies
2. License to Drive
3. The Seventh Seal(I'm not to sure but i think it took place in a day)
4. Speed ( a good majority)
5. Airplane
6. After Hours
7. Superbad
8. The Warriors
9. Airheads
and the one that i cannot believe has not been mentioned even though it is even in the title.
10.FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF
Ahh, this whole list is an epic fail if it took THIS long for someone to mention Ferris Bueller.

thats actually alost COMPLETLY untrue...clerks 1 and 2, and mallrats are the only ones to span only one day, chasing amy ,dogma, jay and silent bob strike back, and jersey girl if you HAVE to include it, span WAY more than a day.
