For the Intellectually Superior, Murder is an Art: Rope (1948)

Believing that murder is an art form reserved for intellectually and morally superior minds, Brandon and Phillip strangle their friend David then host a dinner party afterwards in their tony penthouse. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Rope is a compelling tale of intellectual hubris, aesthetic decadence and Nietzschean aspirations. The film is famously shot in long takes without edits.
