A selection of films, famed for their decision to throw convention out of the window. This list pays homage to the great surrealist films from the history of cinema.

Ontology is the philosophical study of being, existance, becoming and reality. In simple terms it seeks to classify and explain entities.

In movies and tv show ontology usually comes in the flavor of an ontological mystery at the center of the plot with several of the following elements: the characters do not know who they are, where they are, how they got to the place there are in, and the central conflict is to get out of there and find answers to the above questions.

In the most common version of the trope, the characters are locked into a strange room or find themselves at a strange place with no contact to the outside. They have no idea how they got there, why they are there or how to get out, nor do they know who is behind their predicament, if anyone at all.

The main idea behind such stories is the investigation of a restricted environment in which the characters find themselves with the goal of mastering the environment, revealing secrets, and ultimately escape.

This list focuses on such stories. I added a few edge cases for good measure, like pure escape room, death game or timeloop movies that have a strong ontological undertone, even though they are not ontological mysteries per se.

If you think something shouldn't be on this list, or if I missed something that should be on here please leave a comment.

Films that while watchin' 'em make u feel certain (albeit, different, dependin' on the film) ways. Positive feelings, yeah, sure, there's some in here, but, be warned... Not always!!

There is no film that tells the life of Nietzsche, but there are many films that are influenced by Nietzsche's philosophy . These films, while offering glimpses of Nietzsche's life, are not entirely based on facts. These films are fictional films that interpret, criticize or adapt Nietzsche's philosophy. Therefore I recommend reading corresponded book before watching the movie in this order:

1. When Nietzsche Wept& When Nietzsche Wept
2. Broken Flowers& Thus Spoke Zarathustra (Also sprach Zarathustra)
3. Rope& On the Genealogy of Morality (Zur Genealogie der Moral)
4. The Fountain& Beyond Good and Evil (Jenseits von Gut und Böse)
5. Triumph of the Will& The Will to Power (Der Wille zur Macht)

• When Nietzsche Wept (2007): Adapted from Irvin D. Yalom's novel of the same name, this film tells the story of Nietzsche's mental breakdowns, his relationship with Dr. Josef Breuer who tries to help him, and his love for Lou Salome .
• Broken Flowers (2005): Directed by Jim Jarmusch, this film tells the story of a successful lawyer who receives a letter from an ex-girlfriend that he actually has a son. The film refers to Nietzsche's concepts such as "Übermensch" and "Last man" .
• Rope (1948): Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, this film tells the story of two university students who kill a friend influenced by Nietzsche's philosophy that "inferior people have no right to live" .
• The Fountain (2006): Directed by Darren Aronofsky, this is a science fiction film that tells the story of the quest for immortality in three different time periods. The film refers to Nietzsche's concepts such as "Amor fati" (love of fate) and "eternal recurrence" .
• Triumph of the Will (1935): Directed by Leni Riefenstahl, this film documents the Nazi Party's 1934 Nuremberg congress as a propaganda film. The film refers to Nietzsche's concepts such as "Will to power" and "God is dead" .
