This is one of the best movies that I have ever seen with only three actors. Can you name other good movies that have so few actors?

Silent Running (1972). Four actors are in in but Bruce Dern .....well I think everyone should see it.
In the future all plant life on Earth has become extinct. A few specimens have been preserved in enormous, greenhouse-like geodesic domes attached to a fleet of American Airlines space freighters, currently just outside the orbit of Saturn. Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern), one of four crewmen aboard the Valley Forge, is the resident botanist and ecologist who carefully preserves a variety of plants for their eventual return to Earth and the reforestation of the planet. Lowell spends most of his time in the domes, both cultivating the crops and attending to the animal life.
Orders come from Earth to jettison and destroy the domes (with nuclear charges) and return the freighters to commercial service.
In 2010 Ryan Reynolds made Buried, in which he played a civilian contractor hired to drive trucks in Iraq. Film opens with him waking up buried in a coffin with a flashlight and a cell phone. His kidnappers call to let him know he's being held for ransom unless he calls his employers and gets them to pay up big time.
The movie is all him. Amidst all the FX clatter-fests he's been making more recently this is a standout performance that too many people missed.
A Long Day's Journey Into Night.....
4 characters, oh wait, 5 counting the cook/maid.....
