I have made a lot of lists on this blog, but in the words of Confucius I am not an originator but a transmitter. All my lists are nothing more than a compilation of interesting stuff I've found by perusing other lists on various forums and sites. When lists are of particular value to me, I tend to save them on a document, and I'd like to share them here as an extension of my archive, since the originals of these lists are long, long gone at this point. Most of the originals had great images along with them, but oh well. Sacrifices will have to be made. Unless stated otherwise, the lists are one-film-per-director, as was tradition.
1. The Arabic Numeral Series (Stan Brakhage, 1982)
2. Charmed Particles [The Adventures of the Exquisite Corpse IV] (Andrew Noren, 1979)

When It Was Blue (Jennifer Reeves, 2008)
List 2: Elephant_Gun's Additional Film Canon
I believe this was meant as an addition to the above, but it also has alternative duplicates from some of the same directors above, so I don't know how that's supposed to work. Regardless, it's an amazing list and there are a ton of films I wish I could find from it. The only issue I have is some of the selections are more aptly of DVD sets or screening program suites than individual works.
