Definition from: All About Philosophy - Existentialism (https://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/existentialism.htm).

Existentialism is a 20th century termed philosophy concerned with human existence, finding self, and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility. The belief is that people are searching to find out who and what they are throughout life as they make choices based on their experiences, beliefs, and outlook. And personal choices become unique without the necessity of an objective form of truth. An existentialist believes that a person should be forced to choose and be responsible without the help of laws, ethnic rules, or traditions. 

Listed below are a number of existentially-themed films which I feel address the human condition in a profound, and ultimately, rewarding way. Gaining insight into ourselves and being able to express this with others through these films. 

In reverse chronological order and purely subjective.
