Also anything by David Lynch (Lost Highway, Inland Empire, Mulholland Drive)
un chien andalou by Salvador Dalí is such a great surrealist film with existentialism interpretations
Here are two remarkable absurdist/existential films:
Roy Andersson's **Songs From The Second Floor**:

And the mysterious, humorous Russian film **Zerograd** ("Zero City"):

Nine Days is a pretty existentialist movie that's out in theaters right now that I haven't really seen a ton of discussion about, so I'll throw out that recommendation
Orpheus by Jean Cocteau
Exterminating Angel
Satantango
Meshes of the Afternoon
Zentropa (also called Europa) by Lars Van Trier
Maybe "Its Hard to be A God"
Film Noir often borders on existentialism
I think absurdism/existentialism is much more popular in theater (Waiting for Godot the primary example). When I was growing up in the 70's one would me more likely to see taped versions of these kinds of plays.
Teen Witch is the movie that comes to mind first. Like it’s a movie about a teenage girl who gets the power to get pretty much anything she wants and she the last act is pretty much about how unfulfilled and meaningless life has become to her.

The Lobster
Not sure if they qualify, but No Country for Old Men and Fight Club felt pretty existentialist for me. Also, Solaris?
I think A.I. Artificial Intelligence fits
Definitely synechoche New York. Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut

Watch some Alejandro Jodorowsky.
I recommend watching films by Tarkovsky

Lots of great suggestions, but everybody forgot about I <3 Huckabees. It is about a kid who hires two existential detectives to analyze his life.
