Holly Fisher should be included (e.g. "Kalama Sutta")
Meredith Monk's "Ellis Island"
Richard Serra's "Railroad Turnbridge"

"Taris" by Vigo is a good one."Don't Look Back" by Pennebaker probably qualifies because it represented a new and groundbreaking way to make a film at the time.

Not to start arguments within the thread, but...
I agree with David T's general point about ideology and the camera, but I'm not sure if I agree that Naomi Uman's films should be avoided. But it has been a while since I've seen them and perhaps I should hear more reactions to them. Perhaps her more recent Ukrainian films would be interesting to look at in relation to some of the objections to her earlier poetic/portrait docs (since part of the idea for the project was to explore the land of her own ancestry).
I think Shirley Clarke's The Connection probably pushes the definition of doc too far (a staged adaptation of a play filmed in a studio set), but Clarke's Portrait of Jason might make a good substitution for it.
Other suggestions probably already thought of or mentioned:
Warhol's screen tests, and Bufferin (and many others)
George Kuchar's Weather Diaries (and many many many others)
Peggy Awhesh's Martina's Playhouse
Jean Vigo, A propos de Nice
Santiago Alvarez
I just watched Lionel Rogosin's "Good Times, Wonderful Times" which might not strictly fit the definition here, and I had mixed feelings about it, but it might be useful in such a class.
