A few I don't see getting mentioned much:

  • 3-Iron
  • The Seventh Continent
  • Hausu
  • The Lives of Others
  • Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
  • Spoorloos

In all my years as a fan of movies I have never heard anyone ever mention SSFWS! I feel like I just found a kindred spirit. It is a movie that sticks with you forever. One of my favorites for sure. You might enjoy The Best of Youth based off your list.

Haha, I have no idea why it is so unheard of. Absolutely floored me the first time I saw it years ago and I've come back to it at various times in my life and gotten different things out of it each time. Such a gem of a film.

Haven't seen The Best of Youth but I'll put it on my list right next to Satantango 😉.

I've also never seen anyone mention it. Also not 3-iron! Of those I haven't seen from your list I'm adding to mine. Too much obscure coincidence there.
