Learn More » The Existential Hitman by HunterDuesing Created 08/10/12 76 comments ★ 43 The lone hitman has long been a subject that has fascinated filmmakers, the outlaw who kills for his own reasons and lives by his own code.

What's your favorite existential hitman movie?

The Thin Red Line Terrence Malick My favorite Malick film. This not only made me fall in love with his style, but made me actually think about the nature of war. Not a day goes by that I don't think about this movie. 2. Do the Right Thing Spike Lee Is it possible to do the right thing in the heat of the moment? 3. Rushmore Wes Anderson No matter how bad you think you are, as long as you're passionate about something things will work out. 4....
