it's TV now a days, but from the 70's to the mid 2000's, it was movies (at least in the US). I do believe business has become too incorporated in the film making process in Hollywood and lessened the quality of American films. Foreign cinema has had higher highs over the past couple of decades, and in the long run been closer to the idea of what art should be than American movies.
Yeah breh corporations ruin everything

I think music is still number one. It is way more universal. A large part of the population don't really give a shyt about movies. They may watch them but forget everything about them once it is over.
I can see the argument for that. Movies have a degree of difficulty that other mediums don't, in that most films are edited in order to keep the length down. So, ultimately the idea is to get your point across in the most efficient way possible for the story you're telling.
Drawback is definitely that there's too much business involved, and where you don't have business, you run into a wall of access/elitism. It's still way harder to see the "best" movies of the year in a timely fashion than it really needs to be.
I think I might be getting old, because I think that books are the highest art form, since the best writers can effectively put you right in the middle of the scene they're describing in simple text, and there's always the openness of interpretation based solely on how someone reacts to what they read, or even how they read it.

Nah.
Film 99% of the time is made on a budget, and that comes with limitations and extraneous circumstances. You only have so much time to capture what's happening.
Things like literature and painting have longer exposure times, so they can reach higher levels of artistry.
I would say on average though, most films are more artistic than the average book or painting. But the ceiling is higher for those other artforms. The greatest films are usually adapted from books and most of the way they're shot and how they look comes from painting. It's a synthesis of the two, but it doesn't supersede them, imo.

Used to be, but not anymore, in my opinion.
I think it’s music > paintings > books > TV > video games > movies (in that order)

The Mona Lisa was painted over 500 years ago.
Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 is over 200 years old.
Pick your favorite movie. How do you see it holding up 50 years from now? Better yet, what movie that's currently 50 years old stands up to the two, centuries old, works I just mentioned?
I didn't even OD and bring up the Bible or the Koran

For a tv equivalent I'd go with the Twilight Zone considering how much it's foreshadowed.
I've seen the Mona Lisa in person, and it was fine, (obviously touristy and crowded at the Louvre) but I'd easily take my favorite movies, over ever seeing the Mona Lisa again, in person, or in picture. I like and appreciate art, in many forms, though I would say if books count, that would be my choice.
