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.
