If the school grounds can be counted as one location, then The Breakfast Club.

The Bitter Tears of Petra van Kant is all inside the apartment, no?

Yeah I guess I would consider anything with mostly the same set throughout/feeling of "need" to leave would cut it?

Rocky Horror Picture Show

The opening scene of RHPS (which my current handle stems from) is in a different location than the rest of the film.

I want to see Non-Stop. I'm thinking it would fit

Dreamland, Friday, 13 June 2014 21:26 (eleven years ago)

The opening scene of RHPS

ah right. I think the opening scene in Das Boot is somewhere else too (they stay on the boat until the last scene, when they get off and it sinks so I thought I could let that one slip by)

my dinner with andre
carnage

there are a lot of post-Saw horror chamber pieces now with one-word titles like vacancy, buried, exam, frozen, devil, triangle, etc et

do movies set entirely on one spaceship like event horizon and sunshine count?

slam dunk, Friday, 13 June 2014 21:57 (eleven years ago)

Jeanne Dielman has several locations (the bar, post office, grocery store...)

Damnit Janet Weiss & The Riot Grrriel (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 13 June 2014 21:59 (eleven years ago)

oh ok i turned it into all-apartment in my head over the years

My Dinner With Andre has opening and closing scenes outside the restaurant, with Shawn going to and from it.

no matter how crabby of a mood I’m in because of the New World Order (WilliamC), Friday, 13 June 2014 22:07 (eleven years ago)

There's a bunch that would qualify if you discounted opening scenes/sequences. Dawn of The Dead for example.

actually looks pretty good

The original Sleuth has an exterior shot in the beginning, after that all of it takes place in one house. Ditto for the remake.

Buried is not really a horror movie, is it? But it's gotta be the most extreme example of these, since the whole movie is set in a buried coffin.

Tuomas, Saturday, 14 June 2014 09:30 (eleven years ago)

Got excited by a mention of a clue remake and then noticed you wrote sleuth not clue.

On that note, clue? I think it's all one location, tho lots of sets I guess.
