I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I should probably revisit the movie. But I saw it in theaters when it was first released and I hated every minute of it. Over long, tedious, cold, uninteresting, noisy, busy, bland, obvious, pretentious, indulgent, flat.
Nothing about that movie worked for me.

Hehe, well it's acually a pretty decent movie. Just no 12 Angry Men. But few movies are that great.

Love 127 Hours, never "got" The Lighthouse.
I like that Buried flick with Ryan Reynolds.

12 Angry Men is probably the answer. Otherwise it’s Evil Dead 2. The airport scene and the ending arent disqualifying.

Bug is a great choice, especially interesting because it is the ideal of a single, claustrophobic location fixed in space; but, more interestingly, a space that changes drastically over the course of the movie.

It's not the greatest, but The Outfit starring Mark Rylance is a pretty good single location film.

Tape is another strong, underrated single location film. Like Bug, Tape is also based on a play.
