Can anyone give me an example (that contemporary college students would know) of a movie where you only hear the main character throughout--you never see them.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
The only one I can think of with that perspective through the whole movie is Lady In The Lake.

It doesn't have to be a main character. Just a character who never appears.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, well, that opens it up.
Except I still can't think of a good example.
Does it have to be a movie? Gossip Girl is a prime example.

Those are both great examples, but it should be a movie.
The current example is Mel Blanc playing the father (I think) in Strange Brew.

Charlie's Angels IS a movie. As is Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle.

It's what I meant.
