If I remember correctly, Andrew Noren's Imaginary Light (1995) has a regular flicker pattern for a substantial part of its length (approximately thirty minutes).
Consider Andy Warhol's early silent films - the required projection speed, 16 or 18 fps, introduces a slight flicker (very subtle in comparison to what we would consider "flicker film"). Warhol's "strobe cuts" in later films such as Nude Restaurant (1968) and Lonesome Cowboys (1969) are a different kind of flicker effect. I like the Newsreel Collective logo which appeared at the beginning of their films, accompanied by the sound of a machine gun - flicker in the service of the revolution. Brian Frye's Lachrymae (2000) is a nice counterpart to "flicker" films - as I believe Fred has pointed out elsewhere, the onscreen fireflies are an evocation of film projection.
