I came across an interesting, self-proclaimed Chaotic Cinema list on Letterboxd of over 2,600 surreal/experimental/cult/horror films and wanted to transport it here. But inputting all those films was an enormous task, and gigantic ICM lists are always so cumbersome to load and use. So, I compromised and only entered the films I haven't seen. Which initially amounted to just about half of them. This makes the list less useful to others, but it's certainly SOME use to other fans of this warped cinematic realm. If nothing else, you can gloat about whichever films you've seen and I haven't!
Inputting this list also led to importing multiple films to the ICM database. But unfortunately, there was also a surprising number of films that don't even have IMDb pages:

I'm going to create IMDb pages for as many of these films as my patience allows -- we'll see how I do. I believe I'm up to 145 adds now. I'll delete titles from the above block of text as I add them to ICM.
I continue to remove films that I see. The list initially was 1,108 films but is much smaller now. But there's an extra wrinkle: The Letterboxd user continues to expand the list, so I'm adding films as well as subtracting them.
PS Two substantial misgivings about this list: 1) Too many trashy horror movies included, just because they're gory or shocking. 2) The list's creator has a creepy fetish about arty women in film. Especially Tilda Swinton -- he runs Facebook pages about her and apparently hoards hundreds of photos of her. And this kink infects the list, which has loads of marginal, female-directed films and, of course, extra Swinton films. He's fixated on Cate Blanchett too.
