Unfortunately, as time goes on, fewer and fewer people seem willing to help the marshal, leading to a tense and exciting final showdown. Part of what makes High Noonso great is the way time is used. It's almost entirely done in real-time, taking place fro...

Alfred Hitchcock was always an innovative filmmaker, with and his ambition is on full display in 1948's Rope. The film shows a party playing out in real-time, with the two young men hosting the party having murdered a friend right before it starts, hiding the body under a table to prove to themselves they can get away with a perfect crime. Hitchcock was limited by the technologyof the day, as directors could only film ten minutes of footage at a time. He did his best to make ten takes look li...

Admittedly, Sam Mendes'war film 1917 is almost entirely done in real-time, but not 100%. It follows two soldiers sent on a dangerous mission through No Man's Land to deliver a message that will stop a charge from happening. At about the halfway point, one character is knocked out, and the film resumes when he regains consciousness, some hours later. Perhaps to get the full real-time experience, you'd need to watch the movie in two halves, and take a break when the character falls unconscious?...

True to its title, Cleo from 5 to 7follows a young singer named Cleo from 5:00 pm to about 7:00 pm, as she wanders the streets of Paris. Throughout, she meets various acquaintances while anxiously awaiting some results from her doctor, which may or may not confirm she has cancer. It might sound bleak, but it's not a fully dramatic affair, adding in a little comedy to keep things from being too downbeat. It's a charming and beautifully made movie, and remains compelling even while it intention...

Remade in 2021 as a film starring Jake Gyllenhaal, the original The Guilty is a Danish thriller about a police officer working in an emergency services dispatch center. What initially seems like a relatively normal day of receiving emergency calls becomes more complex, as the police officer begins to uncover a dramatic series of events, all happening at the other end of the telephone. It's a claustrophobic and effectively minimalist movie, as it takes place entirely in one room, and all in re...

12 Angry Men is an undeniable classic, holding up over 60 years lateras arguably one of the greatest movies of all time. It shows a jury discussing the verdict of a murder trial in real-time, involving one jury member believing the accused to be not guilty, and attempting to convince the other 11 that the case isn't as clear-cut as they initially thought. The way the discussions play out without skipping a single minute ensures the film does a great job at making the viewer feel as though the...

Free Fireis an underrated action/crime/comedy film that involves an exchange between arms dealers in an abandoned warehouse going horribly wrong. Due to all the mistrust amongst the film's shady characters, everything goes south very fast and very violently, with most of the film being a real-time shootout/argument between the various characters as they continue to die, one by one. It's a pretty simple premise, but it's handled well, and in the end, Free Fire is a pretty good watch overall. I...

Victoria stands out among the various films that aim to look like they're filmed in one take, as it genuinely was shot in one take. As such, it naturally has a storyline that plays out in real-time, and depicts a young woman meeting a group of young men who end up roping her into robbing a bank with them. From the characters' meeting, to the robbery itself, to the aftermath and fallout, everything is in real-time, and similarly, the cast and crew were all making it in real-time, too. A few te...

Director Tom Tykwer's award-winning experimental thriller, Run Lola Run, has a deceptively simple premise. It follows the experiences of the titular character, who finds herself in a messy situation with her boyfriend – she has to get 100,000 Deutschmarks to save his life within 20 minutes. Within its 80-minute runtime, the frantic, stressful and often mind-bending movie subverts and completely breaks the rules of filmmaking. The fact that it happens in real-time only makes it easier for view...
