Drama K.I.S.S. films?

[Randall_Oelerich]

Can anybody help me think of some drama films to rent and watch that are examples of KISS films (keep it simple...), i.e. small cast, one simple location or very few locations? Drama or any subgenre, just not the classic 'put a bunch of people in a house and kill them off one by bone' horror KISS film. Looking to study such films to help me come up with ideas for a K.I.S.S. screenplay to write.

Some examples that come to my mind, but I need others: 12 Angry Men, Catch and Release, My Dinner with Andre.

By your title, I thought you were referencing this:

If you're not worried about it being a feature, there are a lot of old Twilight Zone episodes which are fine examples of this.

I am thinking stories what could hold for 80+ minutes as a feature.

Here are a couple that quickly come to mind...

The Brothers McMullen
Trees Lounge

Although both of these films probably feature a few more locations than what you're looking for, they are both nice examples of "economy" while still telling a good story.

I'll try and think of a few more...
