He probably has a life, copying and pasting definitions takes about 10 seconds.

The phrase "sets of eyes" has been used for eons. I don't need any websites to help me make you look stupid. You're doing just fine on your own.

Leave the condensation to frowny, you're not very good at it.

Sorry for making a lighthearted sarcastic comment. Dramaqueen.

Compiling a roster of films exploring existentialism. Wiki offered a few dozen, and it seemed best to begin tonight with the 2001 cinematic adaptation of Waiting for Godot. I've seen Ikaru previously and a few films inspired by Godot like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I'll likely try Melancholia next.

Have you seen Better Off Dead?

I've not. Thank you for the suggestion! Honestly, I've only seen a handful of films in my life so more than likely if you can think of it I've probably not seen it yet.

My initial list of films exploring existential themes include:

Waiting for Godot
Melancholia
Fight Club
I Heart Huckabees
Waking Life
The Matrix
Ordinary People
Life in a Day
The Seventh Seal
Ikiru
Taxi Driver
The Great Silence
Ghost in the Shell
Harold and Maude
High Noon
Easy Rider
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
A Clockwork Orange
Groundhog Day
Apocalypse Now
Badlands
Blade Runner
and curiously the Toy Story films.

I've seen a few of the above but most will be new to me. I'd certainly welcome additional suggestions.

Have seen 19 of the 24 you listed.

Wouldn't steer you away from any one of them. Enjoy!

I wish I could watch ISB watch The Matrix.
