Arnulf Rainer
An experimental film from 1960 about flicker effect. Or, as one commenter on YouTube puts it, "One of the most horrible things ever in the history of the cinema."
The film is named after the artist Arnulf Rainer but it's by director Peter Kubelka. Some more info from wikipedia:
Wikipedia also notes that Kubelka refused to digitize the film because "cinema is a completely different medium which cannot be imitated by the digital medium." But it's on YouTube, so someone digitized it.

When I was in high school, I would have thought this was the coolest thing ever. Now I have a headache after the first 30 seconds.
