Movies With ONE Character Only?


"Secret Honor" is the only one I can think of. You do not see ANYONE else. Its a movie featuring Philip Baker Hall as President Nixon dictating, some which is true, some which probably isn't. I liked it.

Locke (2013)
Great movie. No replay value tho'.

Any movie thats technically happening in one's mind will count, right? Since the dreamer is the only real person?

reply

How strict are you with your characteristics here? Are you talking about NO appearance of another character, even in the form of a video, or a voice? How about in a flashback or fantasy of the main character's?

reply

Initially, just looking for one. If we run out, I guess we can stretch.

not good if you have claustrophobia.

I'd thought of Silent Running, too, until I remembered that there are two other astronauts on the ship with Dern before he kills them.

reply

Duel definitely has more than one character.

reply

you don't see him

reply

There's a scene in Duel in a diner with about twenty other people.

reply

most people consider it a one character movie

reply

Based on the example the OP gave of Secret Honor, I think he was looking for films that only one actor or actress appeared anytime on screen in the whole film. I questioned him in an earlier post if this is what he meant but he never replied.

reply

Duel and All Is Lost are great observations. While either may have technically had other people (but maybe they didn't) they certainly are centered on a single character. That's a real challenge for a film maker.

reply

You didn't answer my previous question, so I'm going to assume you mean ONE and ONLY ONE character (actor/actress) can appear on screen...

Give 'Em Hell, Harry

Another film about a President, Harry S. Truman, featuring a bravo performance by James Whitmore.

I was going to say Moon previously, but technically there ares more than one Sam Rockwell in the film.
