All Ages Favorite movie that you consider as art?

Here are my lists:
1.) The Watchmen
2.) The Dark Knight
3.) The Fight Club
4.) Inception
5.) The Prestige

These movies to name a few :) Go watch it!
 
One of my favorite movies that I consider as art is Hachi: A Dog's Tale (Hachiko). It was beautifully made. I can feel all the emotions in the movie not to mention that it really happened in real life. I am glad that they are able to deliver it properly. It showed the undying love between a pet owner and a dog which surpassed my expectations for such relationships.
 
Kimi no Na wa (Your name.) It is an anime so obvious it is an art in a sense that the movie was drawn but if you watched it you will understand that it's not just an art, it is masterpiece. You can notice that the makers of this movie are perfectionist because of the way the animation is very refined. The cinematography, the colors used, and specially the music. One thing that will stick to you after watching this is the soundtrack.

You can really feel a lot of emotion in this movie and I guess that is what artworks do.

I know I'm a nerd, but I think Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, and the great movies of that era are magnificent. True art. Of course, they were a little corny, but they were so fun and theatrical.

I like those big Bible epics too, they're real products of the era they were made in. Ten Commandments was pretty good... but I think the book was better ;)

Really though, in answer to OP's question... every movie is art. You can take PhD courses in film studies, history, almost any aspect of film. There are institutes devoted to it's study, museums of it. It is probably the grandest art form of our time.

And a favorite? Someone asked me my favorite book the other day, and I answered "the next one" which could apply here too. But favorite movie I have seen already?

The last movie that took my breath away was called "I Am Not A Witch" a beautiful little movie filmed in Zambia and starring a little girl who gets accused of being a witch. Despite how scary that sounds it is sweet and funny and also kind of sad. I recommend you see it if you get the chance.
 
Writing stories is an art. So is acting, videography, editing and the like. Everything behind the scenes of movies is an art. One my favorite movie that I really consider as a great art is Harry Potter Series. It does not only show the art of writing a great story but also the art of creating a unique and out of the world ideas and creatures. The movie adaptation is also an art I can never forget. As a video-editor-wanna-be the visual effects and computer generated imagery of the series did not fail to impress me knowing that the production began at 1997.
 
For me that's "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", being used to watching Jim Carre in his comedy movies, I could never imagine him in a role like this one, it's a role that takes much emotions and too dramatic, but he did a great job in it, and of course the co-star Kate Winslet, was just outstanding, other that the actors beautiful performance, the way it was shot is what I loved the most.
 
I just watched "At Eternity's Gate", a biography of Vincent Van Gogh, focusing primarily on the last year of his life painting in Arles. As far as "Movie as art" goes, this would fit the bill nicely. Not only is it the story of the most dramatic and prolific period in one of the most influential artists of the modern age, and is directed by one of the most successful painters of the late 20th century (Julian Schnabel) but the way the film is shot recreates so many of Van Gogh's iconic images, and utilizes actors that are dead ringers for the subjects he painted that the film itself is like a moving gallery of his work. Historically accurate and brilliantly acted with Willem Dafoe in the lead role, this film will most likely be seen in many classrooms when studying 19th and 29th century painting. An excellent, highly moving and entertaining film.
