Suggestions for the next poll!
Added 2024-08-04 13:18:35 +0000 UTCThe next movie poll theme will be: 1 location films
Basically I'm looking for movies that predominantly take place in 1 location, like 12 Angry Men. The movie takes place in one room (with the exception of a small introductory scene in the courtroom, and the end scene where the men leave the courtroom).
Please suggest up to 2 movies each (you can put both suggestions in 1 comment), and I will put all of the suggestions in a spreadsheet and randomly choose about 8 to be put into a poll later this month.
If you suggest more than 2 movies, none will be entered. If two people suggest the same movie, the movie will simply appear in the spreadsheet twice. I'm doing this so you don't have to worry about looking at all the previous suggestions to make sure it hasn't been suggested before.
I don't know how many movies fit this criteria, but saying "this movie takes place one planet/country/city" is not valid for a single location. Single location examples: 1 room (12 Angry Men), 1 house (Clue) , 1 coffin, 1 street corner, 1 restaurant, etc.
I have someone that will be checking to make sure the movies fit the criteria before they are put into the poll, since I'm not going to look up what the movie is about to make sure 🤣
I'm hoping there are more than 8 movies that meet this criteria. I mean, there has to be!
This might be a tough ask, so if it's too difficult to find movies, please let me know and I can change the theme of the poll.

2024-08-05 19:23:02 +0000 UTCI'll say "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest" (1975) which takes place in a mental hospital but it does have one scene where they escape briefly, so I'm not sure if that kills the "1 location". Same with my second entry..."Dead Calm" (1989) where they are predominately on a boat, but a second boat also has some scenes, so I'm probably "0 for 2" with these suggestions! This is tough!

2024-08-05 11:28:20 +0000 UTCI have seen it, and Knock qualifies. At least to me. This was one I was debating about. I eventually decided on different movies, but I definitely loved the....... ... the um... There are some problems resolving why I agree with you without spoiling the movie. You are right, "Knock" would be a great "1 location film". And I hope someday you enjoy it.

2024-08-04 23:28:00 +0000 UTCI'd like to think it fails the 1-room location test but it passes the "street intersection" test where there could be neighbors across the street. Hitchcock is playing with the sub-genre and cracks it by using a window.

2024-08-04 22:43:49 +0000 UTC"One Location" is a little trickier than you might think.

Mannygogou
2024-08-04 22:24:34 +0000 UTCI will accept that. You see Hitchcock is a tricky guy and he twists the genre fooling almost everyone... "almost everyone" lol 😊 🙂 spoiler 🙂 possible 🙂 spoiler 🙂 The title is "Rear Window" not "Single Bedroom Apartment" If we close the rear window then he's in a single room - Qualifies But for example if there is a sad lady and a musician in the story then we're talking about separate buildings - Qualification not as clear The test is if we close the window. If we close the window then there's no story. The title is Rear Window because the story and the world is out there in all its glory. Swing wide o' those windows! 🙂

2024-08-04 21:50:00 +0000 UTCOK, I think both my ideas will be rejected but that’s OK. I’m gonna make them anyway. First would be the African queen (1951). I started with another suggestion but I decided it was really a stretch so I've changed it to this one. Heaven Knows, Mr Allison (1957). I think the majority of each movie takes place in one location .

2024-08-04 20:34:28 +0000 UTCI would think Rear Window qualifies. Minor Spoiler, but something Verowak probably doesn't want to see: the camera never leaves the apartment.

2024-08-04 20:32:43 +0000 UTC+1 for Rear Window.

2024-08-04 20:31:43 +0000 UTCWhen googling "1 location films" Rear Window shows up near the top, so I would say it counts lol
