One Cut of the Dead
The first 35ish minutes is a one-cut low budget horror, and not gory by today's standards. The final 40ish minutes is sublime. Watch it without spoilers.

I think this film will become much bigger, or at least be remade (the original is Japanese) into English language/have a big influence on upcoming films. There's a showing of it in London soon with one of the cast. I'd love to go, as there's a concert I'd like to attend the night before too, but I'm away in Scotland.

Cat-Woman Of The Moon 1953

Black and white movie made in 1953 with Marie Windsor, an actress who could do anything. It gets a lot of mention but being black and white I doubt it gets seen very often.
Made by Hollywood professionals it has an imaginative plot, great music by Elmer Bernstein, the job of dance director went to Betty Arlen, who apparently usually worked as a bit part actress but somehow got the dance choreographer job for this movie. I guess the word choreography was not part of the science fiction vocabulary. Probably dance director had a lower pay scale.Typical Earth men and 1 woman go to the moon in a space ship with wooden tables and rolling chairs (I forgot about those) where they find air and water underground and Cat Women. Features a chess like Shakespearean plot with telepathy, mind control and only 1 gun. A good start for all the woman of space versus earth men movies that came afterwards.
 
Anything by David Lynch, especially Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive. Also episode 8 of Twin Peaks: The Return (Gotta Light?).
