Favorite One-Location Movies?

The Thing 1982

The Thing From Another World - 1951. Aside from some brief outside views which were obviously shot in a studio, it was all inside a frigid, claustrophobic polar installation. Even the outside views never strayed from a studio with a white, painted backdrop with a wind machine blowing plastic snow across the set. It's really a genre classic that set the stereotype for a lot of movies like that, not to mention the various sequels (especially Carpenter's excellent re-boot) and a prequel.

The Raid: Redemption, which may be my favorite action movie. Dredd (2012) isn't half bad either. I also really like Johnnie To's Breaking News, which I think qualifies and of course Die Hard. In short, if it's an action movie set in a high-rise, I'll probably like it.

Okay, part of the second act moves to a neighborhood bar, but the majority of the film takes place in George and Martha's living room.

Ever seen the original Assault On Precinct 13, then?

I have. I dig it.

It's horror and not action, but Cube is another good one. No one's mentioned it yet, surprisingly.

Locke (except for the first few minutes).


The Hill maybe.

I saw "Cube" a month ago.. The acting was so lousy, and didn't care about the movie overall.... It could have been good, though.

Glen gary, glen ross etc.

A lot of plays that have been adapted for film.

Most airplane, "Airport," or hi-jacking movies.

Can't believe I forgot about Locke...loved that movie.

I don t even get what does this thread title mean?
Favorite-one???location movies? I don t even think it s proper english...no offence

Sure, if you're gonna move the hyphen around it's not gonna make sense, that probably stands true for most sentences with hyphens in them. Personally I'd have swapped out "one" for "single" but the thread title is just fine.

I'll add the wonderfully brutal at times Scum into the discussion.

You couldn't even read the title properly.. Look at the message above.


I think you also need to buy an apostrophe.

Plenty of good ones already mentioned.

Lifeboat.

Fences comes close.

Speaking of "My Dinner With Andre" - I see it's on YouTube for free (although you CAN pay for it on YouTube)

Aside from 12 Angry Mean, Rope is the one that comes to mind.

The Passion of Joan of Arc doesn't stray more than about 50m.
Ditto a Streetcar Named Desire.
Last Year at Marienbad 150m.
The Lighthouse 200m
The Others 300m
Onibaba 500m
Repulsion 500m

Until right at the end, Key Largo is all set at and around the hotel, albeit in different parts of the premises.

1408
Devil (2010)

I watched this a few months ago. Not bad little thriller!
