This is the only movie I can think of...


That takes place almost entirely in one house or in the backyard. Unless you count the scene where Wayne is at the Science meeting or whatever the entire movies takes place in the Szalinksi house or backyard and a few scenes in The Thompson House.

"Clerks" was almost entirely in a convenience store. "Reservoir Dogs" was almost entirely in a warehouse. Of course those were due to small budgets, but still.

Titanic takes place entirely on the boat. Almost.

Phone Booth takes place almost entirely in a phone booth.

I found Phone Booth impressive. The main character spends like 95% of the movie inside the phone booth. And while he's the only character in it every characters' focus is on him. So you kinda feel like you're in there with him.

"The Breakfast Club" takes place mostly inside a high school library, with occasional scenes in the hallways.
