Suggestions for films that deal with Existentialism

I’ve been receiving a lot of questions asking for more movie recommendations and several followers have send in their own suggestions as well so here is an updated list.

a lot of foreign language movies by Rohmer, Traffaut, Bergman, Fellini and Godard have an existential overtone but here are some that are readily available on netflix or elsewhere:

  • Waking Life
  • I Heart Huckabees
  • Broken Flowers
  • 13 Conversations about one thing
  • Groundhog Day
  • Requiem for a Dream
  • American Beauty
  • Citizen Kane
  • Me You and Everyone We Know
  • The Jacket
  • Donnie Darko
  • A Scanner Darkly
  • A Clockwork Orange
  • Adaptation
  • Eraserhead
  • Moon
  • El orfanato
  • Synedoche New York
  • Lost Highway
  • The Tenant by Polanski
