I guess Kubrick's "2001" passes as art film and still has some kind of plot at least.

Some of Polanski's older films like "Repulsion" are pretty artsy and surreal. I also highly recommend any of Bergman's films, particularly "The Seventh Seal" and "Wild Strawberries". Or you could watch a pure performance art piece like the Cremaster Cycle. You could also go for the more lighter attempts at art film, like the Monkees' "Head".

Amelie.

Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It" is on the border between an art film and a movie, so it is a good start.

Anything by Luis Bunuel would be a great start. The most disturbing is probably the marvelous film "Un chien andalou" from 1928, with the famous and almost unbearable scene where an eye is cut with a razorblade. Other great directors who could be considered as art film directors might be Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Jim Jarmusch or Aki Kaurismäki
