I really dig the whole concept, it reminded me of growing up and going to different cities with friends, for gigs or just visiting other mates.
Any other films that are like this?

After Hours with Griffin Dunne took place over one night in NYC; a surreal film that was a lot of fun. With Roseanne Arquette I think

Actually I'm really fed up with crazy-stuff-happens-in-one-night type of movies. There are too many. Superbad, sitter, hangover on and on and on.

George Lucas's American Graffiti. Excellent doo-wop soundtrack and cool 50s setting.

Ralph Bakshi's Hey Good Lookin'

Scorsese's After Hours

John Carpenter's Escape From New York and Escape From LA. Awesome action movies and about as 'one night in the city type films' as you can get.

Attack The Block. Cool and funny alien invasion/hood movie set in the concrete jungle of south London.

Dazed & Confused. A bunch of kid's last day and night of school.

A "one night in the city type film" that I enjoyed was medicine for melancholy.

The film "Fun Size" takes place over Halloween. It's not a great film but it's surprisingly likeable
