Tim Burton comes to mind.....Edward Scissorhands.

Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures is also a superior example.

The Cell is a pure trip. The first scene of Robin William's heaven, all done in Van Gough's style, in What Dreams May Come is very cool too.

American Beauty
Edward Scissorhands

If you saw these two films you'd know what I mean by their "artistry"

I dunno, I don't think Heavenly Creatures was a good movie at all.

I'm basing this only on trailers and pictures but.....

I'd have to say Kubrick's BARRY LYNDON. Kubrick purposely made each shot seem like a painting in the style of the period of the setting of the movie. The whole thing really just seems like a bunch of paintings.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS
SLEEPY HOLLOW

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY takes the cake. Also, FANTASIA, E.T., STAR WARS, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, etc.

Punch Drunk Love has some very artistic elements to it, but I also think 2001 gets the prize.

When I think "artistic", I think of films by the auteur types: Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Bergman, Kurosawa, etc.

Another great one. La Dolce Vita is also 'art' to me.

I'd have to agree with those who chose 2001: A Space Odyssey. I think it's truly an amazing movie that combines sight and sound into "something wonderful!":D
