Movie with Fewest Actors/Extras


As I watched this I realized there are very few people in the
movie. It is odd watching the credits scroll and seeing maybe 16 names.
For those of you that have extensive movie viewing experience,
what movie has fewer people than Vacancy? Bug and Reservoir Dogs come
to mind but even they have either a bar scene or outdoor scene with
others visible...

"Buried" only has one actor visible on screen, it's about a man buried in a box underground trying to get out, however there are other voices of actors heard through the phone.

Alice (1988) by Neco z Alenky.

There is only one little girl in the whole movie and only she is billed, although we do see the side of another person at the start of the movie.

Other movie unusualness 'for want of a better term'.

The Thief 1952 Ray Milland
No dialogue in the whole movie

Memento
The movie is shown backwards (not in reverse)

Gerry (Already mentioned)
Only two male characters listed

The Artist
The movie is Black and white and silent, albeit a few words, made in a time when silent movies were not made.

Timecode (2000)
The movie was shown with a 4 way split screen each section in real time in a continuous take.

Sea Wife(1957)
None of the characters are known by their given name.

Silent House only has 5 actors involved.

The Blair Witch Project had only 3 main characters. The only other people ever onscreen were the 6-7 townsfolk they interviewed that had only a few minutes of screen-time total.

reply

The Disappearance of Alice Creed only had 3. Pretty good movie too.
