You left out my favorite existentialist - Albert Camus - impressionably powerful writer and philosopher, changed my outlook on the world. You have to read "the Stranger", then his essays including "the myth of sisyphus".

and dont forget rene descartes. he came up with systematic doubt known by most from the phrase " i think , therefore I am". i think a moody blues song begins with the phrase but i am not a classic rock buff so i dont know which one. his ideas definitely cahnged my life.

this is off topic but checkout dali's art and the un authorized biography on him. reading those changed my viewpoint.
