Live Poll: One-Location Movies
The one-location movie is a producer’s best friend and a director’s worst enemy. On the budgetary side of business, it’s a dream come true: a single set, a small stable of characters, no cordoning off a public area for shooting. But there are also manifold creative challenges — there’s nothing to rely on but good ol’ fashioned acting, writing, and camerawork. Flash and style can only get a filmmaker so far when they’ve got nothing to work with but four walls, a handful of performers, and words. Source: Vulture.com (by Charles Bramesco)
Which one-location movie has the best setting?
My list: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls022625317/

Note: Some movies are shot at multiple locations, but the main part of the story takes place at one location.

I could have sworn this poll has been done before. In 5 years, I can't believe it has never been suggested.

Sleuth (1972) (Location: Country Manor House)
Sleuth (2007) (Location: Country Manor House)
Garage (Garazh) (1980) (Location: Natural History Museum; Soviet cult classic comedy which takes place in the natural history museum in which garage cooperative tries to settle their things)
Mean Guns (1997) ( location: an unopened freshly built prison; on of my personal favorites)
Also, I don't know whether it counts, but it usually is: what about adaptations of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None"?..

For your consideration:
Waiting for Godot (2001)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0276613/
Two tramps wait for a man named Godot, but instead meet a pompous man and his stooped-over slave.
Location: A country road by a tree
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_Godot
This is probably the primary example of a play set in one location. The 2001 film version of the play is the highest rated and has the most votes.

What about 'Der Totmacher' aka 'The Deathmaker' with Götz George at (1995)?
The true story about Fritz Haarmann, who killed 24 rent boys from 1910's to 1920's.
Making Sausages of them and selling them on the market. The postpositive conversations
between Haarmann and the convened psychatrist was a very dramatically picture.
Laurels to Götz George, who played Fritz Haarmann and to Jürgen Hentsch, who played
the psychatrist. Maybe you could get a re-push?
