OK--some more fairly obscure entries for the list:
THE STORY OF THE MAN WHO LEFT HIS WILL ON FILM (Oshima)
The work of Morgan Fisher (see Scott McDonald's book A CRITICAL CINEMA)
Does Haskell Wexler's MEDIUM COOL count? (TV Camera operator close enough?)
THE WHITE SHEIK (Fellinni, 1952)
MAN OF MARBLE (Wajda, 1977)
LAW OF DESIRE (Almodovar, 1987)
THE PORNOGRAPHERS (Imamura, 1966)
THE LAS MOVIE (Dennis Hopper, 1971)
(that's the LAST movie....)
SHERMAN'S MARCH (Yeah it's a docu of sorts, but there's definitely a
character...)
and (not so obscure)  HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE.
