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!

There's a bit of an overlap between this roster and an archive I compiled a year or so ago of all films inspired by the writings of Philip K Dick. I've only made a dent into that filmography so I've got some work to do.

ISB, hopefully you're going into Melancholia blind.

A total trip of a movie. In an awesome way!

Do yourself a favour and watch 'Woman In The Dunes'. Not only might it be the best film I've ever seen, it's also the most existentialist, being very close to the philosophy of Camus' 'Myth Of Sisyphus'.
