11:14 (2003) dir: Greg Marcks
Hardly great, but worth a look for its ingenious structure. Shows the goings-on of verious characters in a small town shortly before and after the stated time (at night, so would be better titled '23.14'). Until we finally grasp the whole picture.
12 (2007) dir: Nikita Mikhalkov
Russian version of 12 Angry Men But has a different agenda. Instead of individuals' prejudices, apathy or other weaknesses, it targets the system.
Can I cheat by one hour? if so:
25th Hour (2002) dir: Spike Lee
We watch Edward Norton as a convicted drug dealer, spending his last 25 hours of freedom before handing himself in to serve a 7-year sentence.
7 boxes (2012), a Paraguayan movie (is that a first for this board?) written and directed by Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schémbori. A young market porter is given a hundred bucks to wheel 7 boxes from A to B and gets in over his head. Good, but at 105 mins outstays its welcome.
After Hours (1985) dir: Martin Scorsese. My favourite Scorsese. Why did he not make more black comedies? A meek office worker spends a night exploring New York's often weird and sometimes sinister underbelly.
Albino Alligator (1996) dir: Kevin Spacey (one of only two films directed by him).
A gang of crooks are besieged by police in a bar, then realise they are not who the police are after.
I guess a lot of siege/hostage movies would meet Mortsahlfan's criteria? I cannot remember if the following are contained within 24 hours:
Dog Day Afternoon (1975) Sidney Lumet (edit: mattgarth says 'yes')
The Desperate Hours (1955) dir: William Wyler

The Desperate Hours (1955) is a good one. Bogart's last. Wyler made some great movies. "The Collector" (spans over weeks I think)

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Actually, Bogie's last film was THE HARDER THEY FALL.

Whoa, no mention of Rope or High Noon?
A lot of stage adaptations would qualify

I might be wrong but I think Manos: The Hands of Fate takes place in a 24 hour time period. I just ate so I can't watch to make sure
I'll ask Torgo. He takes care of the place while the Master is away
