I commend you for picking an actual arthouse film, b/c a lot of the suggestions from this thread are very mainstream and just slightly non-traditional.
I'm about to frick y'all up with some truth:
If we're talking less arthouse and more just a celebration of various conglomerations of art in film:

Which one would you recommend the most?
They are both Claire Denis films. Trouble Every Day is a French Extreme Horror film, and Beau Travail is an adaption of Billy Budd set in the French Foreign Legion.
These are real art films and require active viewing.

I saw the Fountain in that shitty old theater in BR right before it was demolished. It's a shame he didn't get to fulfill his vision.

Why thank you.
I'm trying not to be too hard on some of these suggestions. I think the Aronofsky movies are fairly artsy for instance but yeah, when I think "artsy" I think something a little more "out there", like maybe Holy Motors.
I've only seen three of the movies you posted and Kill list was fuuuuuuucked up.

The Return looks interesting. I’ll definitely check that one out.
Yeah it would have been cool to see The Fountain the way it was meant to be seen. I still thought what he was able to do was beautiful. And Hugh Jackman always plays a great grieving husband/father. He nails those roles. I enjoyed the elements, but yeah very disappointed arnofsky couldn’t do his full vision.

I don't know what really counts as an "art" film but I first encountered Kontroll in an art film house in high school:
Been a favorite of mine ever since. It's basically a story about a team of subway ticket inspectors and their day-to-day encounters. Almost the entire movie is shot underground so there's tons of cool lighting and shadows. Story is solid, dialogue is funny, the characters are memorable, and the action sequences are thrilling (and believable--I'm pretty sure not a single frame of CGI exists anywhere in the film--and there are a lot of scenes with moving trains).
Pacing is excellent, soundtrack is phenomenal, and the lead gal is cute as a button.
Plenty of imagery and symbolism here to keep snooty academics writing, but plenty of fun for us regular movie goers too. It appears to be available for streaming on Amazon Prime and Pluto (though I have not verified this).

Here's one you may like, if you've never seen it.
Despite my thoughts on it. It really is an amazing movie. Hard to be a God. Absolutely maddening to sit through but holy shite, it's really creative film making.

On the list it goes.

While not a movie, I think the The Young Pope.

I had such high hopes for that. The first season was some of the very best tv I've ever seen. And then came the second season and off it went.

Hope you enjoy it! I'll second The Return too. Awesome movie.

I’m sure a lot of this board would really dislike it b/c of it’s pro union stance and left wing leanings but Cradle Will Rock is one of the best musicals I’ve ever seen. The cast is crazy stacked too. Directed by Tim Robbins it has Hank Azaria, Ruben Blades, Joan Cusack, John Cusack, Cary Elwes, Philip Baker Hall, Cherry Jones, Angus Macfadyen, Bill Murray, Vanessa Redgrave, Susan Sarandon, John Turturro, Emily Watson, Paul Giamatti Jack Black, Kyle Gass, Bob Balaban, Barnard Hughes, Jamey Sheridan, Gil Robbins, and Harris Yulin. I'm sure I'm missing a few more too.

Come and See
City of Lost Children
Anything by the Brothers Quay
Anything by Maya Deren
However, the greatest "art" film of all time is also the greatest film of all time, period. If 2001 could be made to hang on the wall in the Louvre, it would deserve its place.

I would consider art house to be a film made strictly to tell a very specific story rather than appeal to a wider audience.
So it doesn't always have to be low budget or select showing. It just needs to be more focused on the art of making movies than attracting people to the theater. I think that's why the 70s was such a boom for art house films. More directors wanted to experiment with the medium rather than appease a production company. Making a film vs making a movie. Stanley Kubrick made films. Steven Spielberg made movies. Both were some of the best of their respected focuses, but they certainly had different goals when behind the camera.
Though that is my opinion and others would certainly disagree.
