What movie have you watched with least number of actors in it?

[tufguy]

1) What movie have you watched with least number of actors in it?

2) Which movie have you watch with a lot of actors in it?


3) What is the least number of actors in a movie that you have watched?

I watched a movie with only one actor in it.

Can we put emphasis "Least" by adding "Most" or "More"?

1) What movie have you watched with the least number of actors in it?

We'd probably say "fewest actors."

2) Which movie have you watch with a lot of actors in it?

3) What is the least number of actors in a movie that you have watched?

4) I watched a movie with only one actor in it.

Can we emphasize "least" by adding "most" or "more"?

Since least and most are opposites, it would be difficult.

No. "Least" is a superlative so you can't intensify it with "more", and "most" is the opposite of "least".

1) What is the fewest number of actors you have seen in a movie?

2) Which movie is it with fewest number of actors?

3) What is the largest number of actors you have seen in a movie?

Is it correct to say "fewest number of actors" do I need to strictly stick to "fewest actors" and "largest actors"? Later doesn't sound fine. Am I correct?

2) Which movie is it with the fewest number of actors?

3) What is the largest number of actors you have seen in a movie?

Oops! Sorry. I didn't mean you should replace the word least with the word fewest. I meant we'd phrase it differently. Using "least number of" isn't natural.

Using "smallest number of" would be better. But it would be more natural to say something like:

- What movie you've seen had the fewest actors?
- Of all the movies you've seen, which one had the fewest actors?

"The fewest actors" is fine. "The largest actors" are the ones who are physically the biggest. John Goodman is a large actor.

A number can't be fewer than some other number. Just say "What movie have you seen with the fewest actors?" Mine is My Dinner with Andre, with only two.

2) Which movie has the fewest actors?

Probably something by Samuel Beckett, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmJ3A9sFyGM

This play of his has no actors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io_scJbhCOY

Which movie.that you have seen had the largest number of actors in it? Is it correct?

Perhaps:

What movie that you have watched had the most actors?

(Who cares?)

 

[Tdol]

Probably a war film- the fewest may well have some artistic interest.
