Hitchcock's "Rope" isn't just set in one day, it's also set in just one room...

Con Air isn't all in one day - way too many montages.
If I remember rightly the last 2 minutes of Speed also remove it from consideration.

It's some time since I saw it but IIRC this is not set in a single day but over a couple of days

It's set over a 24 hour period commencing and finishing at night. This is probably why you think you are remembering two days. You are in fact remembering two nights, but those two nights, the intervening day, and their events all occur within a 24 hour period.

I was going to say Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) but technically it’s two days, albeit less than 24 hours. Ditto Dazed and Confused.

So I shall go with The Breakfast Club.

Runners up:

Airport 1975
The Towering Inferno
Zulu
16 Candles
La Haine
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
Slacker

Any love for Run Lola Run?

I've not seen it for years, but is it the film set over the shortest period of time?

There a few flashbacks in Airplane, so it's not quite one day

A pedant writes ... If it's set over two nights then, by definition, it's not in a single day (the question was all in one day, not all in 24 hours)
