Fermat's Room (La habitación de Fermat (2007)) - the whole thing is one puzzle after another; if they don't solve the puzzles in time, they will die

Exam (2009) - bunch of people locked in a room, forced to solve a puzzle

Primer (2004) - not quite the same kind of puzzle-solving as the above, but a mind-bending story

fermat's room and exam are absolutely excellent. too bad they are so little known.
