In a talk I heard P. Adams Sitney give in Berlin a few years ago, it sounded like he was doing some revisionist history to credit Marie Menken’s “Arabesque for Kenneth Anger” with being the film that broke from the psychodrama tradition. If that’s the case—and why not?—then that seems a MAJOR mile marker of a-g film history.
(Still not going to pretend it makes any sense to name just 3 films.)

Three is a severe limitation, but if you insist, one way to get at it is to start not with films but with major traditions since mid-century and select exemplary works within them. So for example abstract (Brakhage), minimalist (Warhol, Wavelength), essayistic (Marker, Farocki, Forgacs). I include Brakhage’s lens-captured films in the problematic “abstract."
