Answer
Hello and thanks for your question.
The issue of incest like many other issues linked to sex and family relationship has always been a "forbidden fruit" and a challenging issue for both psychology and art.  The most famous source is a Greek tragedy "Edipus".
The father of psychoanalysis Z. Freud dedicated much of his attention to a research of incest and its impact on human behavior. This topic is truly complex and bottomless.
The number of sources in the world fiction and the number of movies on this subject is big.
I found some other movies on incest in addition to those on your list, but it wouldn't be all-inclusive:
Angels & Insects (1995)
Chinatown
Close My Eyes
Damage (1992)
Eve's Bayou (1997)
House Of Yes (1997)
Luna
Murmur Of The Heart
My Favorite Season
Something About Amelia
Spanking The Monkey (1994)
This World, Then The Fireworks-1997
Thousand Acres (1997)
Tommy (1975)
Caligula(1999)
Bonjour tristesse(1958)
I didn't see the movie Bonjour Tristess of 1958, but I saw Spanish/French version of it and was very impressed. I think that incest was also addressed in "Fish called Wanda"-a very hilarious comedy with K. Kline.

I hope my response will help you.
Good luck!

Leo.
