That's a tough one.

Absolutely. But I think it's a fun question to determine.

Nude Descending a Staircase and much of Picasso look like hammered shite. But one time I saw an incredible sidewalk chalk that looked 3-D and incredibly real. I can't even remember that kid's name.

I do think that while paintings are art, just like film, they are a different realm. Much like poetry, I think they are completely subjective.

I think the formula to determine the quality of a painting is far beyond that of a film even though a film has more pieces involved.

Think about the numbers involved in films:

Time: Length, Length of Original Cut, Time/crew member, time/word of script

Subgroups for people: Directors, Writers, Producers, Crew, Cast, etc.

Money: Cost, Gross Profits, Revenue, Costs/unit of production, etc.

Box Office Numbers, Box Office/Subgroup

I think there would be some fascinating comparisons and data points, but I am not skilled enough with numbers to figure that out.

I like words!
