Best movies about nihilism and existential dread?


Movies where the characters have no hope to be saved and realize the seriousness of their situation, probably with bleak endings? I'm thinking of stuff like:

The Thing (1982)
Under the Silver Lake (2018)
Night of the Living Dead (1968)

The Road.
Unlike other post apocaylptic films it really seemed there was no hope.
partly because they didnt say what the problem was , which annoyed me.

Mr Klein (1976) is the first one that comes to mind since I was just discussing this, but I'm sure there are more better ones, but I gave that movie an 8/10.
