Great list! I love many of these don't know 2 of em (Maniac and 964 Pinnochio) and am puzzled by your inclusion of Izo.
Izo just seems like a marathon of violence - and that guy maniacally strumming on his guitar...
From what I've been told, a lot of the point of this film is lost in the west because most of us don't know the pop culture icons in this Japanese ensemble film and we don't know the historical figures they are portraying.
It ends up just being a long series of murders in a lot of varied settings.
