Well, what are your top ten movies you would like to watch being alone? Just disconnect your soul from everything else on earth in that moment and watch that?
Let's start with mine: (in no particular order)
Leaving Las Vegas
American Beauty
Punch-Drunk Love
The Hours
The Age of Innocence
Into The Wild
Magnolia
The Sweet Hereafter
Taxi Driver
The Green Mile
Except comedies, I tend to like to watch most movies alone more. It's much easier for me. By the way, your list is great.
Taxi Driver
Into The Wild
Leaving Las Vegas
Jackie Brown
A Clockwork Orange
Paranoid Park
Do the Right Thing
25th Hour
Crimes and Misdemeanors
Waking Life
Last movies seen:
Synecdoche, New York: 9.5/10
Rachel Getting Married: 9.5/10
Leaving Las Vegas: 10/10
I Love You, Man: 7.5/10
I would agree with OP's list more than yours. I never thought A Clockwork Orange is about loneliness: never felt that way. I thought it was a movie about delinquent, psycho... stuff like that!
Taxi Driver is my fav, but I would add Sea of Love too: at least the first part of the movie really depicts loneliness well IMO.

you & I have some similar choices, I loved Jacob's Ladder & The Fountain. Both of them are very depressing films, gud for loneliness moments
shareI saw you post this on the american beauty board
"I'm gonna give you a little somethin' you can't take off. "
Yeah, That's becauese it's on my top ten too. Also Taxi Driver....
I like to see the variety of the answers because i think it directly links with one's personality... Someone who prefers to watch Tim Burton's movies is not the same with one who likes Kubrick's.
Since no one has mentioned it yet - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Not so much a film about loneliness, but if you are lonely and miss someone it just hits you hard and makes you reflect back on what could've been.
