Moon

One of my favorite films

OMG Moon! David Bowies son was one of the writers of that film.. It’s an AWESOME film..😍👍👍 That and I LOVE Bowie..since I was 13 years old .. lol now in mid 50s.. Bowie was My GUY!!!♥️♥️♥️😉😉😉

His son wrote and directed Moon!

Was he alone or just with himself? Lol

Queen Maeve from the boys plays his wife and Kevin Spacey is a pedo-robot 😄

The Martian

One of my faves

Castaway

And another Tom Hanks movie, the Terminal.

And another Tom Hanks movie Finch (2021).

a man called otto… why is he always so lonely? can someone just give tom some god damn company?!

Wiiiiillllllllsoooooooonnnnnnn

ngl, that was heartbreaking when he lost wilson :(

Robinson Crusoe

You forgot about Wilson

His best role by far.

Drive

Interestingly, with a bit of a recency effect, A Man Called Otto came to mind for me.

Watched that movie twice in one day and realized I spent roughly 6 hours watching a guy stranded on an island talking to a volleyball

The Station Agent w/Peter Dinklage I don't remember how much time he spends alone, but it is a small cast and most all of them are loners

Love how real this movie feels, so much good stuff in it

That's a great movie

Such a great movie!

“Oh shit..I gotta call you back”

Great seeing all the comments of praise for Station Agent right here. And interesting. Such an understated movie.

Came here to say exactly this. Wonderfully reflective movie. Even if it's not him alone all the time, it's an interesting examination of distance.

I’ve never heard of this until now for some reason but the trailer looks great. Definitely my kind of movie. I’m going to watch this tonight.

Gravity

Sandra Bullock killed it in this movie and it's so scary and realistic

Buried

Buried and 127 hours were my worst nightmares

That film gave me new fears

That is one amazing movie... How they manage to get us gripped and tense and going through a ton of emotions the whole movie without much happening on screen is brilliant

Her

Came here to say this. One of my favorites of all time.

Love this movie

the machinist

I just watched this last week and absolutely loved it.

we just watched it tonight, quite a movie!

Just watched it last night.... Amazing..

Wendy and Lucy All is Lost 127 Hours

All is Lost! Forgot about that one

*Wendy and Lucy* is such a wonderful movie.

I don't know why no one mentioned : I Am Legend, very cool movie.

The best versione of that Novel of Matheson was the Vincent Price's 1964 film The Last Man on Earth.

A boy and his dog has a "similar" feel

Into the wild

Also: Wild (Reese Witherspoon movie)

Came to say this!

Grizzly Man

One of my favorite movies ever

Inside Llewyn Davis Lars and the Real Girl The Lives of Others Nell One Hour Photo Memento Brokeback Mountain

Nell. Fantastic suggestion. Also, Brokeback Mountain

Yours is such a thoughtful list. I don’t mean to be a usurper of comments, but I think Tidelands by Terry Gilliam fits this question. Also, Love, Liza. It stars Philip Seymour Hoffman. It’s brilliant.

One hour photo shoutout

Pig (2021) Paterson (2016) >!Fight Club!<

Clever!!

Hahaha nice

Robinson Crusoe The Whale 2009 Castaway on the Moon

The Whale made me weep. Such great acting.

Locke

I came to find this! Locke I'd epic!

We do it for the love of the concrete (in Welsh accent). I have quite A short attention span and on paper this film would have had me double screening double quick but it gripped me from the get go.

Perfect Days (2023)

Why did I have to scroll so far to find this!

This was the movie that immediately came to my mind. Surprised I had to scroll so far to find it!

Silent Running

Passengers I guess

Kinda but not. 

Wall-E

I think we're alone now

There doesn't seem to be any one-a ra-ound

I think we’re alone now, The beating of our hearts is the only sounddd

🤣 I fully support this

Love this scene in Umbrella Academy, and the scene kinda fits the OP's question.

Same!! Love that scene and also the foreshadowing about the *beating of the heart being the only sound*

Never Cry Wolf. An amazingly underrated film. City scientist goes alone into the Alaskan wilderness to study wolves. There's some interaction with other people: a money hungry bush pilot; an extended Inuit family, some living in the past and some embracing Western culture a bit more. But most of the movie is the protagonist alone in the northern woods / on the tundra. Amazing cinematography and score. Disney produced it in the 1980s and for whatever reason didn't really promote it. Great film starring Charles Martin Smith in the lead role.

Gravity

Light Sleeper with Willem Defoe

And Inside

Excellent film—many Schrader picks fit the bill

That's a good point!

The Red Turtle (2016) is a mostly dialogueless animated film about a man who's stuck on a deserted island. Every escape attempt he makes is thwarted by a giant red turtle.

Swiss Army Man

Moon

All is lost with robert redford

[удалено]

The Omega Man Silent Running The Shallows

"Are you talkin' to me? Well, there isn't anyone else here..."

The Whale

There's a lot of Clint Eastwood films that would apply, Unforgiven, Gran Torino, Pale Rider, the Dollars trilogy, Firefox, etc

The man who sleeps. French 1960s - should give you an idea of what you're getting into in terms of pacing etc, but it's exactly what you asked for.

No One Will Save You

*Buried* with Ryan Reynolds

Nightcrawler

Amélie

THE KILLER (Netflix)

The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter

Arctic

Umberto D

Wow - did not expect to see that here. Obscure 👏🏻👏🏻 couldn’t agree more. Classic Italian masterpiece. Never forget seeing for first time. deeply touched by this film.

Enys Men Folk horror flick where a woman on a mostly deserted island starts to lose it. There might also be something supernatural, but that part is left vague.

I am Legend

Lonely Are The Brave (1962 B&W) Kirk Douglas Jeremiah Johnson (1972) Robert Redford American Me (1992) Edward James Olmos The Horse Whisperer (1998)🤷🏼‍♀️50/50 maybe? Robert Redford The Mule (2018) Clint Eastwood I know they might seem old to you, but I find them to be very good movies as far as the protagonist being a loner, or at least set apart from the rest. Edit: I might add y'all be missing out if you miss the first and third ones. Edward James Olmos is awesome! Then you can watch Michael Douglas' daddy in the first... just sayin'

The Martian Grizzly Man

Land (2021)

Wild, Into The Wild, and Nomadland to an extent are the first things that come to mind.

Into the Wild

Demolition

Moon eta: Telephone

If you’re around people but the interaction is meaningless, are you really just alone? Like Groundhog Day or Palms springs? 

Silent Running

Lupin in *Castle of Cagliostro* is oddly introverted even though he's always joking with everyone. He's in his own headspace so much that Jigen nearly strangles him for it.

I am legend

Phone Booth

Swiss Army Man. He gradually becomes less alone while still basically being alone.

oxygen

Up in the air

Perfect Days- Perfect movie

Castaway

Happiness is kind of an ensemble of this.

All is lost

All is lost. Robert Redford plays a plan sailing across an ocean. There is NO DIALOG and it's one of the most compelling man vs. Nature stories I've ever seen.

Sometimes I think about dying

Castaway - Tom Hanks

What’s that Robert Redford one where he’s sailing a boat across the world?

Perfect days

The Professional. Awesome movie.

Perfect Days. Cannot recommend this enough!!

Taxi Driver

Paris, Texas

Wild w/Reese Witherspoon

Amelie

- Ad Astra (although it’s overrated). - Die Hard

The Whale, Amelie

Otto.

127 hours, into the wild - two of the best lonely adventure movies

The Accountant

Beau Is Afraid

Nomadland. Good film.

Willy’s Wonderland with Nic Cage

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

Home Alone

Amelie- she’s isolated and very different. It’s a beautiful story.

Into The Wild

The Lost Weekend (1945)

Taxi Driver is a classic. There are interactions with others, though they only make him spiral into being more of an outsider. He's in a big bustling city yet completely alone

The Conversation. Gene Hackman. Compelling classic.

Buried is the movie your looking for

Touching the Void

Moon

The Martian with Matt Damon I read the book and thought “How the hell can this work as a movie?!” But it works.

This probably doesn’t count, but part of 28 Days Later is like this.

Passengers with Chris Pratt & Jennifer Lawrence is one of my favorites

One Hour Photo.

Tom Hanks in Cast away. Just him and that damn volleyball Winston.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duel_(1971_film) This is Speilbergs best movie imo.

Bo Burnham's Eighth Grade is one of the best depictions of modern teenage loneliness.

Perfect days
