Best Movies Starring Only One Actor, Ranked by MovieWeb

"It's arguable that one of the most challenging types of movies to make is one in which there is only one cast member that takes up most of the screen time and therefore carries the entire film's narrative. While films with only one actor are few and far between, there is a good reason why. Managing to keep an audience entertained with only one actor is an incredible challenge and takes a combination of an intriguing plot and outstanding acting to keep the film afloat. Facing the challenges of a lack of dialogue, the film must make up for what it lacks in other areas, like the sound, visuals, and, most of all, the actor's facial expressions and physicality. As if it lost another sense, a film has to outdo itself in other elements in order to make up for a lack of actors. While some of these films feature very small roles from others, these are the best movies starring primarily only one main actor." - movieweb.com
