I've enjoyed movies sharing a great underlying truth of life in so many ways.

In no significant order:

The Thirteenth Floor - A lower budget flick attempting to convey the nature of reality through a sci-fi lens. You're likely to enjoy if you were intrigued by The Matrix.
Dark City - A nod to films of yesteryear in many ways, this noir-esque and "darker" take on reality does a great job at hitting some key life concepts.
The Truman Show - This one has an awful lot of truth to life hiding in plain sight. Super fun to watch with others and hear their thoughts as they start noticing the parallels to real life.
Groundhog Day - Probably coming out of left field for most, this movie actually does a fantastic job of capturing the way reality works. I could write about this one at length. Quite good.
The Matrix - The one most have seen out of all mentioned so far, I'd wager. Another "darker" or grim take on the idea of life, yet still offering many true elements to it.
Waking Life - A dream within a dream within a dream. This film is great at capturing ideas relevant to one's life while also offering how things seem to work beyond it.
The Dark Crystal - Probably the entry that is the least "on the nose" for the idea, it still really nails certain concepts highly relevant to physical reality and more. A rarity for its time.
Inception - This movie does a great job of encapsulating the idea of "different lives, different times, different worlds". The shared-space consciousness angle isn't often explored in film.

And how about two "just for fun" unrelated to the above:

Ghostbusters (1984) - Harold Ramis and Bill Murray did some really great work together over their tenure. I could have picked from several of their works for this slot.
Memento - Thoroughly enjoyed the way the movie pieced itself together akin to how the main character would likely process his life. Neat concept.

Yeah, Wake in Fright's great. High Sierra, too. I love young Bogie. Petrified Forest woud just barely get squeezed out of my top 10. Wild Bunch and Vanishing Point are bangers too.
