This is one of those thing where, if I answered the question again in 2 hours time I'd give a different response. But I appreciate your efforts to start conversations about films, so let's say:
Out 1 (Jacques Rivette, 1971)
The Turin Horse (Bela Tarr, 2011)
Persona (Ingmar Bergman, 1966)
The Lovers on the Bridge (Leos Carax, 1991)
The Human Condition (Masaki Kobayashi, 1959-61)*
The Woman in the Dunes (Hiroshi Teshigahara, 1964)
Morvern Callar (Lynne Ramsay, 2002)
The Naked Island (Kaneto Shindō, 1960)
Dancer in the Dark (Lars von Trier, 2000)
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (FW Murnau, 1927)
* - some people will spot that this is actually three films, so I'm cheating. Don't care, I'm counting it as one.
Teshigahara was so underrated. Bergman is in my Top 5.
"Out 1" looked interesting, until I saw the movie was 13 hours long! I can't even start a movie that is 90 minutes long.
Well, Out 1 wasn't intended to be a movie. It was made as a TV series, but got rejected by French broadcasters, so Rivette started exhibiting it around Paris. It's a bit like Twin Peaks: The Return in terms of its structure. It does kind of flow as a movie, but can also be seen as individual episodes -- so no-one needs to see it all in one sitting.
And, in fact, just as I was thinking 'I wonder if David Lynch was influenced by this', a woman started talking backwards to indicate she was 'from another place'. And I thought 'Ah.'
There's a shorter, edited version -- Out 1: Spectre -- but it's still four hours long.
I adore The Turin Horse. Doesn’t get a lot of love.

In fairness, you'd probably get a different list for every time you asked me that question, but the first four are set in stone.
Don’t EVER sleep at Donald Pleasence‘s house after a night of hard drinking.

shareThat was worse than the Kangaroos :)
J/k
I don't remember this reference.. But Weir's first few movies were pretty harsh.
I actually had kangaroo the first time I went to Australia. It doesn't taste like chicken, but a more lean beef. It's funny that Aussies eat their national animal. I can't imagine eating an eagle, though.
Before the main character gets molested by Donald Pleasance, they go spotlighting with some local yokels in the outback where they kill a bunch of kangaroos. It’s a really rough scene. But yeah, I’d pass on Eagle. Lol
