Before D.W. Griffith and Charlie Chaplin changed this, movies were meant to be means of entertainment. Cinema is definitely an art-form, and movies like Citizen Kane, Nashville, and, of course, The Godfather prove this. But, it is still considered by many to be a means of entertainment. And, for my money, nobody currently working in the movies makes movies more entertaining than Tarantino does. That's my take on it.
