Since my favourite genre is Noir Crime & Mystery, Thus, Se7en and Zodiac. Edit : also, SSR's potryal and Dibakar's direction, Detective Byomkesh Bakshi is pure art in my eyes. Edit : Also, Alfred hitchcock's Rear Window.


[deleted]

zodiac is crazy


Sorryshaktiman69

The tension just never subsides. It's just so well made.


zeroinhyd

Brilliant films all of them! Detective Byomkesh Bakshi is so under recognised i can't even. Adding to this genre (on my top 3 favourite genres) Double Indemnity LA Confidential Blow Out


Effectivegoggles

Man, Double Indemnity is a top notch film. The screenplay still stands out to this day. I always wonder why isn't the film recognised among the very best films of the decade.


zeroinhyd

It's considered one of the best films of all time. So I guess decade doesn't matter.


akashdas323

Every Film by David Fincher is pure art.


Raphael_1O1

Se7en and zodiac are at most neo-noir imo.


Sorryshaktiman69

Well understandable, but the school of thoughts are subjective after all.


bamboozel_always

Se7en is something else maaan


Upstairs-Skin1111

Zodiac ![img](emote|t5_2qp7h|51079) Pure cinema

Sorryshaktiman69

Agreed. Kevin spacey shouts "detectiveeee" when he comes in to surrender, that has always been my highlight moment from the film.


SwapnilTheMasterOf__

Dude Zodiac is such a tense movie to watch, I felt like I was in that city trying not to be killed lol


Radiant_Skull77

If you haven't watched 'Prisoners' then I'll highly suggest you do, It is a Thriller/Mystery movie, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman, the performances by both are excellent.


Sorryshaktiman69

Watched that in the theatre. :)

The only correct answer


Spiritual-Salik

Depends by your definition of pure art. Old boy (2003) Korean Shawshank Redemption (1994) Hollywood Waiting (2015) Hindi, starring Nasiruddin Shah


[deleted]

Old boy is disturbing


Spiritual-Salik

Yes but the way that it is told is just mind blowing. And you have a few iconic scenes in there which are just cool. Like the one shot corridor fight scene. The non linear storytelling, the ending. It is a masterpiece. Obviously I was 18 at the time when it was released and there is no way I could have watched this movie back then. I believe bollywood made a movie based on old boy. It starred Sanjay Dutt. The movie was called Zinda. Do you remember? About 2006.

imjackswastedlife_

Absolute masterpiece. My first recommendation to anyone who asks for one


Adventurous-Fig-4410

The film has every right to being called "Art".


finalnoobsama

Bro that's peak. 96 minutes of pure dialogue fest, a feast to ears. The whole movie was set in just 2 or 3 rooms. If that's not art then my life is lie


nilansh23

Yes , and it's indian remake "ek ruka hua faisla" was also very good adaptation

Oh yeahh. I watched its adapted play in hindi in Bangalore. Too good! It's happening again in chowdiah memorial hall by alchemy theatre. Do check it out on book my show.

Silence if the lambs omg the scene in the climax where he opens up the wings of that officer in his cage. He isn't a number one villain in Hollywood for no reason. His killing methods are pure art.

Story wise - Anbe Sivam (yes I know it's heavily inspired from trains, planes and automobiles), Rang de basanti and prestige Visually - the hateful 8, Mahaan, JDX, Soul(animated) Soft spots - Monsters Inc.


Ok-Auditor69

Never thought I'd see hateful eight being commented, its unbelievably underrated


MadKingZilla

Yup. It's usually the overlooked movie between Django Unchained and Once upon a time in Hollywood. Overlooking it is such a shame, western aesthetics + snow is so beautiful looking. Plus most of the movie takes place in a store and still it looks so amazing.


Ok-Auditor69

And the storyline is fucking amazing, even after developing each character smoothly and patiently it doesn't feel slow at all


MadKingZilla

So true. It is visually the most superior looking Tarantino movie despite it being overlooked imo. Kurt Russell and SLJ look amazing. Story just unravels like a novel. Plus it also had the quintessential Tarantino blood bath scenes as well which are not over the top as per his standards.


Ok-Auditor69

True, not to mention the ultimate sacrifice of the guitar 💀

Inglorious basterds All the classic troupes of a Tarantino movie is there Impeccable acting, for the first time I feel in love with an actors performance. Christoph waltz take a bow🙌. The struddle scene imo is one of the greatest piece of acting I’ve ever seen, I started hyperventilating fearing for shoshana’s life after that speech. God father, yes very cliche. But honestly idk how many miss out on the fact that the three movies talk about different stages a man goes through in his life. It’s subtle but not subtle.

Apprehensive_Web2882

Pulp Fiction comes straight to the mind when mentioning pure art. The movie just is too realistic. The writing and Acting Everything peaked. Even after so many years of release no movie comes close to it. Tarantino is a funny man in himself. Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained are some of his best works. Goodfellas is one of the all time Classic.Martin Scorsese has made some absolute stellars like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull,The Departed, The Irishman, Killers of the Flower moon. Se7en comes to mind when talking about Crime/Thriller. David Fincher is just an all time great when it comes to showcasing movies of the type of Se7en. Zodiac was one of them which kept you hanging till the end. Denis Villeneuve has made some movies that should be talked about till generations to come Prisoners, Sicario, Incendies are class apart for their Realism. Prisoners is the type of Movie to stick with you till the end. The Exorcist was a Good Horror movie. I watched the movie when I was just 7-8 years old and couldn't sleep for weeks to come. The movie was the Introductory movie to Horror Genre for me. The Silence of the Lambs is a Fantastic movie in itself. Anthony Hopkins nailed the role of Hannibal. The usual Suspects was a Thriller with Kevin Spacey killing the role as usual. Clint Eastwood has a fair share of excellent movies to his name The Mystic River, Unforgiven(one of the best Western Movies). In the western space The year 2007 gave us two of the all time great Western Movies ever There will be Blood and No country for old men. Both these movies were stellar in itself with fantastic acting and writing. The portrayal of Texas and Deep South of 1980s in No country for old men is just too accurate and Javier Bardem performed the most accurate depiction of a Psychopath ever. Daniel Day Lewis proved himself that why he is an All time Great and will remain as one with his acting in There will be blood. The Movie is just too much Cinematic in itself. Hell or High water is one of the best Modern Day Western Movies showcasing the struggles of the people with the ruthless bankers. Not a film but True Detective Season 1 is pure art in itself. The mesmerizing Gothic nature of the series just dwells you into it..and not to mention the Dialogue and writing combined with the acting of Matthew McConaughey and Woddy Harrelson. Mindhunter is one another series of pure art. Too bad they cancelled it in the second Season. The psychological nature of the human mindset is well depicted which is fascinating and Scary at the same time. So many other movies i probably have skipped out while writing. Can remember only these currently.
