Some sorry dude in trouble online with the Fem nazis for writing about great films with no female speaking roles.

The Thing [1982]

Let's have some more.

Sleuth (cast of just two people, both men).

Reservoir Dogs? Women actors, but not speaking roles.

I can’t remember any women in that at all. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but good call I thought.

Gates McFadden played Caroline Ryan and tells him he is going to be late for his flight.

I guess you're right. They dragged non acting women from cars and shot one of them.

Ahem, some good suggestions here but I have to ask if the O.P was more interested in suggestions from the adult end of the gentlemans film genre, think Brokeback Mountain but in full, glorious Technicolor?

Quite a lot of historical war/prisoner of war films would qualify, I imagine, set in situations that were all-male in reality.

Sleuth has the name Eve Channing on the opening credits as 'also starring' but these credits were fake, to misdirect audiences from realising the film only had two actors.

There was the woman with the newborn baby in the basement in the bombed out town. She spoke, but only in foreign, so maybe that doesn't count...
