I know this is the literature forum but what are the top 3 existential movies...? I am trying to compile a list of the top 10 existential movies to write up reviews for a underground zine ANGST.

I'm really struggling with the meaning of existentialism, but a movie that came to my mind is Fight Club.
And if you haven't already seen it, try Mr. Nobody. It's from 2009, a very weird movie so I guess it has to do something with existentialism.
Second edit: Wow, I still don't know what existentialism is, but movies just keep popping up in my head. American Beauty could be something.
