the single greatest 1 LOCATION movie ever

[Finner]

What about that movie with robert downey junior and 2 girls in an apartment? I thought that was pretty good.

Wasn't that an episode of "COPS" where downey gets busted for the 68th time?

I think that was "Two Girls and a Guy"... Kinda put me to sleep or I just wasn't in the mood for that kind of movie the day I saw it.

I just love the scene where the girl hears a gunshot in the bathroom, opens the bathroom door and sees roberts brains splattered all over the walls with blood everywhere.. Then he just gets up and says "just kiddin" or something along those lines.. Or perhaps im remembering it wrong..

Of course there is phonebooth... can't say I'm a huge fan of it but it's one of the most modern such films (None Horror) to have success so I thought I'd throw it in (Unless someone did and I missed it). What I did think was interesting was the time in which it took to film it; 7 days. And the comparitive success it had. I also think it manages to sustain the tension fairly well throughout. For me it was let down by the fact the shooter was so obviously Kiefer Sutherland that the body found at the end was blatently not the shooters.

Of course there is phonebooth...

That movie has the ability to make me laugh like no other. The sniper reloads his weapon like 80 times without firing a single shot. Everytime Keifer Sutherland needs to be menacing, they just make that rifle bolt sound.

LIFEBOAT - only the master shoots a feature and keeps it compelling on a rowboat.

Not sure if this qualifies.

Russian Ark (Click for IMDB page)

Tagline: "2000 cast members, 3 orchestras, 33 rooms, 300 years, ALL IN ONE TAKE"

96 minute film shot entirely on a steadicam in "one take". Obviously they had a couple of takes since stuff went wrong, but the you're watching a single take from start to end without *any* cuts in it.

Interesting movie to watch (I have the pleasure of owning it on DVD).

The Thing! Awesome movie...

Oh yeah, and a lot of other Carpenter movies - Assault on Precinct 13 (almost all one location), same with Halloween, probably others but I'm too tired to think!!

There's also, along the "nearly one location" lines the likes of Reservoir Dogs, of course.

12 Angry Men is amazing, and probably one of the most gutsy and brilliant films I've ever seen - keeping tension in one room with 12 people just talking for 2 hours is no mean feat!

 

[Rob Lohman]

Phonebooth was pretty low on locations and really made use of their major location as well

 

[PaulClements]

I quite liked The Descent, pretty much all the same location. Again another example of how horror movies often use the environment almost as if it were another character in the movie. It's hard to think of a horror movie that is widespread location wise... 28 Days Later springs to mind.

Poy Boy.

but it's a classic from the late 60's. I'm not sure you can get on DVD but VHS is still available hope so. Zabriskie was iconic film for my generation born in 50's. Something like should be Jannard's age. But is still a big ideological fight in Hollywood and abroad about all those 60's stuff. And the things are repeating again today: look at the Bush(s) and her Majesty BP/Shell Queen today. And Mr. Blair is standing to protect this. Everything is about a money and power. Royals, Socialists, Clerics, Greens, Reds ... all they need a money to GAIN POWER. We are entering in the age when a power should be resolved forever or we (all the planet) we are going to be destroyed in their's bullshit power wars. WE MUST STOP THIS OR OTHERWISE WE ARE GOING TO HELL VERY SOON . . .

I must have been on acid when it came out because I don't remember. I'll have to look for a copy.

No acid today, just a RED WINE, maybe some whiskey (if you can afford a good one) after that but we are all STILL Romans or similar...
