It doesn't have to be a main character. Just a character who never appears.
"The Thin Man." Nick and Nora Charles. The title refers to the missing person, who we later learned was murdered. All off camera as this was the 1930s.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
You never see the narrator in Fallen. Only the ones who have...um, fallen.

I think that in Lady in the Lake, Montgomery looks into a mirror at some point early on, so you do see him briefly.
You don't ever see David Carradine's face during the Kill Bill Vol. 1, though you do see his hands. Same with Blofeld in From Russia With Love and Thunderball.
