Movies With No Love Interests

I’m pretty sure the none of the following have love interests. I haven’t seen some of them in a while, though, so I could be wrong about a few:

M
Dracula
Duck Soup
The Wizard of Oz
The Man Who Came to Dinner
The Ox-Bow Incident
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday
The Wages of Fear
Godzilla
Mister Roberts
Paths of Glory
Witness for the Prosecution
Mon Oncle
The Hidden Fortress
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Manchurian Candidate
The Miracle Worker
Lord of the Flies
Dr. Strangelove
Cool Hand Luke
Yellow Submarine
Easy Rider
True Grit

Well, Gen. Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) was clearly having an affair with his female assistant.

The titular characters literally get married during the course of the play.

She was only on screen for a couple of minutes, so that’s not much of a love interest.

Terminator 1 and 2
A Clockwork Orange
The Martian
Lifeforce
(there was some memorable nudity, though)
A.I.
Boogie Nights
(You have to go down to the tertiary characters like Buck and his wife, and the movie just isn’t about them)
Never Cry Wolf

The entire franchise revolves around the Sarah/Kyle love story.

Clue
Escape to Witch Mountain
Return from Witch Mountain
Treasure Island
All the President’s Men

Nice list!

Am I the only one who remembers the Tin Man and Dorothy, in The Wizard of Oz? He already had a heart, as proven by the fact that he loved her.

He just wanted to console her, right? :slight_smile:

If you count Redux as part of the film, this one has to be discounted.

Dullard, I mean, Willard, has a brief fling with one of the French Plantation Women. (IIRC)

Silent Running

Dracula has Mina/John Harker, not to mention Lisa/Dracula

Brian

I know you said you maybe don’t remember much about the movie, but I’d sure like to see whatever plot summary — however brief — comes to mind.

Why, as per the title, does the prosecution’s star witness wind up testifying about the letter she addressed to “My Beloved Max”? (Does she, after stepping down from the witness stand, explain that she testified the way she did because of a man she loves?) Why did the victim, an older woman who’d been reading about older women who married younger men, leave all that money to the younger man who then winds up on trial for her murder? Can you explain the ending without making reference to “A Clinging Brunette”?

Maui was truly, deeply, passionately in love . . . with himself. :slight_smile:

There was a torrid love triangle between Captain Nemo, Ned Land, and Esmeralda the sea lion. :slight_smile:

There was an emotional bond between the Gratuitous American and the Naked Space Vampire. Granted, she was using him, but they did have a connection.

As I said, I haven’t seen some of these movies in a long time, but wasn’t the entire testimony by the star witness a lie, including the letter, which was a forgery? In fact, even the identity of the witness was a lie. I guess it’s the case that the real person who masqueraded as the star witness was motivated by love.

Do you really think Tin Man had a romantic attraction to Dorothy? At the end of the movie, the Cowardly Lion said, “Stay with us, then, Dorothy. We all love you. We don’t want you to go.” Does that mean he wanted a polyamorous relationship?

Thanks for the reviews on “The Wicker Man” (I didn’t want to read too much, as I like a surprise)… I might check this out soon. Cheers!

Misery and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest come to mind.

I would count Redux as a different movie.
