Live Poll: Absurdist Films

Hello, poll forum, another idea for your consideration, feedback welcome, thank you.

Absurdism is a philosophy based on the belief that the universe is irrational and meaningless and that the search for order brings the individual into conflict with the universe. Absurdists think that the human condition is essentially absurd because humans are always looking for meaning, but are completely unable to find meaning because no such meaning exists.

Which is your favorite absurdist movie?

@mariojacobs,

Do you have any thoughts on Breumaster's suggestions?

Ok, @Breumaster thank you for your input, but since there are already 35 titles, I will keep this time the cartoons out... 

Big Bang is here 👍

Your sources mention 10 and 15 titles. What about the rest?

>What is absurdist in Boyhood?

I really don't know. I haven't watched the movie.

The rest I picked from the readers comments from the tasteofcinema.com and from the author's honorable mentions from the philosophyinfilm.com

I thought they were worthwhile to add...
