Film/movie as art

Across the Universe:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziToC3371NE

The whole movie incorporates music, The Beatles covers, art, dance, and cinematography to produce the most artistic movie I have ever seen. Every song and every scene in the film could be still-framed into a portrait. Each song has it's own meaning, especially this clip for "strawberry fields forever." The main character Jude is a striving artist and his girlfriend's brother is at war, and it shows both of their interpretations of the song and how the war has been affecting both of their lives. "Across the Universe" is definately one of my favorite movies of all time.
