View Full Version : Movies with small casts opus 05-10-2019, 04:45 PM I recently watched A Quiet Place, and there are only six cast members listed in the end credit roll. Name some other major movies like that. Torgo 05-10-2019, 06:43 PM I don't know about major, but Closet Land (1991) has 2 actors: Madeleine Stowe and Alan Rickman. The World, The Flesh and The Devil (1959) has 3: Harry Belafonte, Inger Stevens, Mell Ferrer. Babalu 05-10-2019, 06:57 PM Sleuth (1972) has only two cast members, Lawrence Olivier and Michael Caine. IMDB lists a few other cast members (as credit only) but none of them appear in the movie. JamesG 05-11-2019, 04:02 PM One of my favs. is Richard Linklater's 2001 film Tape, featuring Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Uma Thurman in a motel room for the entire film. Two former high school friends are reminiscing about the past in a motel room. One of them doesn't know that the other arranged the meeting to get a taped confession on his ex-girlfriend's rape.

I saw this movie and IMO it STUNK!!! :p I'm a fan of the horror/terror/drama genre but this one fell flat I thought !!!;) :confused: But in answering the threads question : "The Blair witch project" !

Name some other major movies like that. Haven't seen it yet, but it looks the cast for the sequel is quite larger https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8332922/fullcredits JamesG 03-17-2023, 01:30 AM The recent film The Whale, based on the play, features just 8 cast members. opus 11-03-2023, 10:43 PM New movie, What Happens Later. Only Meg Ryan and David Duchovny have speaking parts (besides mystery public address announcer) >>>Although it’s set in a small regional airport filled with passengers stuck there during an epic snowstorm, it soon becomes apparent that it’s really a two-hander, with the central pair having the only speaking roles. Apart, that is, from a series of increasingly absurdist announcements on the airport loudspeaker voiced by the only other credited castmember, Hal Liggett. Liggett delivers an amusing voice performance, but don’t bother looking up his credits on IMDb. His actual identity is coyly being kept a mystery.<<< https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/what-happens-later-review-meg-ryan-david-duchovny-1235633426/ |
