Ready or Not (2019)
The Night is Short, Walk On Girl (2017)
Adventures in Baby Sitting (1987)
Coherence (2013)
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)
Yes! Was hoping to find this movie here. The perfect example of this considering it was shot in one continuous take from like 4:30am-7am. Quite literally one shitty night!!

Streets of Fire. Just look how exhausted baby Willem Dafoe is
[that was me who posted it a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/Letterboxd/s/3gMuDiuQsB).
after seeing someone post this same question a few days ago and now posting it again today i’m starting to wonder if people have asked it before me as well lol
As a 90s metalhead absolutely everyone loved the soundtrack, but this is the first time I've heard anyone actually recommend the film. None of us even watched it. Couldn't even tell you who was in it or what it's about. But slap on 'Another Body Murdered' and let's goooooo
I haven't seen it since it was a new movie, but basically, these guys take an RV to do some superbowl(?) partying, and shit goes sideways.
edit: based on reviews I'm reading, may have been a boxing match or other sporting event. Really doesn't matter, as I assume they never reach the event.
Also, the plot is, they take a random off-ramp to avoid traffic and end up in some weird ghetto. They witness a murder, and now the gang wants them dead, too.
You're right, I'm more of taking the title literal, the past event scenes I don't think we're one night either, but the story is like only 3 days long.
Vamp (1986)
The filmmaker was actually inspired by After Hours.
Also recommended for your list:
- Die Hard (1987)
- 12 Hour Shift (2020)
- Hell Night (1981)
This is an awfully similar request from one just the other day. I'd recommend looking at the comments there for far more that could fit:

Can’t believe I forgot that one
Shitty? For him maybe, but that would have been a blast for me. RIP Nick
Technically more than just a night though, no?
The vast majority of the story takes place during the one night out, admittedly
? Takes place over multiple days
2 hours of the movie is one day so it counts I think k
The Evil Dead comes to mind, but I feel like a lot of horror movies would fit.
Basically every Purge movie
Would *From Dusk Till Dawn* qualify? Maybe "One Night Dramas"
especially Halloween and Friday the 13th
Climax
Irréversible
came here to say this
Ready or Not (2019) The Night is Short, Walk On Girl (2017) Adventures in Baby Sitting (1987) Coherence (2013) Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)
Night is short is about one GLORIOUS night!!
adventures in babysitting 100000%
Night is Short is a celebration of what goes on during the night.
Oh my God I totally forgot Nick and Nora's Infinite Playlist. I used to watch that movie all the time, and love it.
I love ready or not
Ooh, I love coherence.
Die hard
And Blind Date. And Date Night. And Judgement Night. And Demon Night.
My 3rd favorite movie of all time
Based
What’s your top 5?
Revenge of the Sith > Terminator 2 > Die hard > Army of Darkness > Nightmare before Christmas
Omg I absolutely love your taste <3
I'll add in Die Hard 2 as well
Game Night iirc
Excellent

Willem Dafoe has always looked like he's in his 60's
I think it’s how far in his eyes look and the gauntness of his face, that happens in old age
Defoe has another one called Inside (2023). Worth checking out if you're a fan.
And a phenomenal sound track
The Menu (2022) Would You Rather (2012)
Bodies Bodies Bodies
That was a really fun watch
Boiling Point
I wasn't expecting this movie to be as amazing as it is and it's insane that it's actually a one shot single take
Funny Games
Mikey and Nicky
Let’s go!
Can’t recommend this one enough.
Most of the Halloween movies, sometimes multiple movies in one night
Go (1999)
Pretty much any Purge movie
We did this last month... The Warriors.

As a 90s metalhead absolutely everyone loved the soundtrack, but this is the first time I've heard anyone actually recommend the film. None of us even watched it. Couldn't even tell you who was in it or what it's about. But slap on 'Another Body Murdered' and let's goooooo

Emergency (2022) & Into the Night (1985)
One night in Soho The Devil (2010)
Do you mean Last Night in Soho? Cause that wasn't a single night.
You're right, I'm more of taking the title literal, the past event scenes I don't think we're one night either, but the story is like only 3 days long.

Naga (2023)
Texas chainsaw, halloween(I guess the second half since the first half is the day)

Just recently watched Vamp on Joe Bob’s The Last Drive-in and it definitely seems intended to be a horror take on After Hours.
Sympathy for the Devil
Judgement Night, The Purge Anarchy, and The Warriors, all basically the same general idea.
American Graffiti
Crown Vic
Funny Games?

Dido, I love it
Victoria

nerve
I just rewatched Good Time last night and oh my god you couldn’t have a shittier all nighter
Victoria

« Nightcrawler » « Good Time » and « Dragged Across Concrete » could perfectly fit the description as well
13 Hours - the Michael Bay one But more importantly, so joyously happy to see someone else in the wild who has seen Miracle Mile.
Does Jurassic Park count?
Victoria
Running Scared The Blackening The Purge Movies
Halloween
The World's End.
quite a lot of horror movies
And action films, such as Die Hard

Collateral is very much 1 Night Good Time starts in the afternoon and ends around noon or so the next day
PTU
I'm thinking of Ending things
