The 20 Best Existential Movies of All Time

"An existential movie is one that deals with a world and/or a life that is devoid of any preordained meaning, rules, or justice. It often deals with a confusing struggle to find personal meaning in an absurd world that presents no trace of it on its own.
All of this debate aside, here is a list of some of the best existential films of the ages from some of the best directors who have explored these ideas and questions in chronological order from every corner of the world. Although this list could obviously be much longer, we have tried to include a range of some of the best examples by some of the best directors who have explored this genre".
