These kinds of movies seem to have a great ratio for me. The first one that comes to mind, and the earliest is "12 Angry Men", as well as: "Le Trou" - a great prison movie. "Rope" is a good one that is in real-time (not as good as the aforementioned though)

Rear Window
The Lady Vanishes (although largely one location, it is really two)
"Secret Honor" (Robert Altman)

fine movie, but I don't know if Jimmy Stewart was the right guy for the job. I mean, you know he's going to do the noble thing, so it kinda punctures a hole in the surprise.

See, knowing Jimmy Stewart from all the other movies, I knew the stubborn behavior was just to build up tension, but I (and probably everyone else watching) know he would eventually do the right thing. I still liked the movie.
Now the remake -- shit!
Lifeboat (1944)
