Comments
Flaming Creatures
1963 USA
Although uncredited, Tony Conrad's sound-mix is a crucial component
Rose Hobart
1936 USA
Must be projected as Cornell intended with alternating tracks (B2 and A4) from the Nestor Amaral LP Holiday in Brazil.
Further remarks
Alphabetical (obviously), these are canonical films (for me, obviously), of which I never tire. The list could be expanded a bit. Half or more are one-offs. Were I listing directors (with regard to their oeuvres) the result would be quite different.
