I'll second the notion for Lockhart's Goshogaoka, one of my favorites.
Also, James Benning has a strange and interesting movie about baseball
cards, Hank Aaron's baseball cards in particular: American Dreams.

Paul Arthur writes: "... A description of the form of AMERICAN DREAMS
is deceptively simple: along a narrow border at the bottom of the
screen a handwritten transcription of Arthur Bremer's diary crawls
from right to left; a series of chronological baseball cards from the
career of Hank Aaron are shown in a steady cadence, first the front
(usually a photo), then the reverse side (batting statistics, etc.).
Finally, overtitles indicate by year the sources of the soundtrack's
fragmentary speeches and songs. ... AMERICAN DREAMS is far from
unrestricted in its horizons."
