SchumacherFTW Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 All seven Saw's take place over a night each don't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 All seven Saw's take place over a night each don't they?Should that count because of all the flashbacks and stuff? I think it's just films where the entire narrative is just through one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMovieman Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Should that count because of all the flashbacks and stuff? I think it's just films where the entire narrative is just through one day.Yeah, I think with the Saw movies, they jump back and forth in time and so don't really count (think of it this way, the films could be reassembled and put in order).

Kvikk Lunsj Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 What about Magnolia? I can't remember if that was one day or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Shrek 4-get rid of the fact that there was the flashback at the start of the film, the entire movie was in a 24 hour period.Same thing with Santa Clause 3.(Both did It's a Wonderful Life. Except that one does not count since it was the story of George Baily.Ben Button-oh wait kidding ;)Oh how about Cat in the Hat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 And to add to my last 3 posts-Polar Express! It was all in one night.Time travel films are tricky. Bill and Ted was in under 24 hours, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
