All Day Long

I've been watching a couple of movies recently that each spanned the course of just one day. And what stories! So that got me thinking....

It's remarkable how such powerful stories can be told and so much action unfold (wow, that rhymes too!) within such a short time span.

So here's a (very) short selection of daylong movies.

Dog Day Afternoon: Is it a bank robbery gone crazy? Or is it a take about something else? And who exactly are these robbers? And what's their motivation? Real crazy stuff!

Training Day: A police procedural on high. Why didn't *both* the lead actors get an Oscar each?
"King Kong ain't got shit on me!"

Falling Down: Michael Douglas acts almost as good as Robert Duvall. Brilliant.
"I'm just going home".


Any other memorable ones you can think of? Any from Bollywood?
