On the other hand, if I'm trying to get them to see film as art, then I'm showing them
nah, OP was talking about getting them started and into cinema.
Film as Art is a later step. Pushing artsy movies too early will bore and turn them off.
My 3, to a newcomer (as stated maybe your child):
1) Raiders of the Lost Ark (The Mummy is a good alternative)
2) Star Wars (original, in original/despecialized format)- just a rollicking good time
3) The Princess Bride- plenty of adventure, and it's also funny as hell. I would love to watch that with someone who's never seen it.

That's a perfect choice.
The reason I picked Cinema Paradiso is because it's about a kid obsessed with and falling in love with movies... And how they changed his life.
But, it is foreign. So maybe a hard sell.
