It's an important part of:
Crown and Coke
Rum and Coke
Long Island Ice Teaand many other interesting beverages!
And really, I think you almost have to look at films the way you would say, still photography: Some of it is art, and some of it is "product". Hopefully there will always be the Fellinis and Bergmans to art as there are the Spielbergs and Soderbergs to product.

From an health point of view, it is certainly an very un- one.
In small dose with ice an a zest of citrus, it can be enjoyable..if you like tons of sugar....
Tell me where are the Fellinis & Bergmans and Co. ?
I was jesting about the Coke -New Fellinis? I dunno, maybe Jeunet? Almodovar? Some who are not yet "mature" like Christopher Nolan (Memento)? Maybe only history will be the judge.
"Oh, Daddy doesn't mind a little scandal. He's a senator."
..Jeunet ? nice films, but who has no real layers of deepth, I look his " Amelie " twice...and it was...boring the second time around, his art is very visual and to consume like...an coke...but he may with his 53 years, have some hidden arrows...
Momento, this one I never like it was " new " and brillant in the story telling, but like " The Six Sense " superficial...and too boring for a second viewing...A film must be still surprise me after an X time of watching it...
no-one I can think of directing today is as *talented* as one of the greats, but there are still a few that make a movie according to their vision, not necessarily for box-office success. So all we have to do is wait for one who is talented to come along. Easy, no?P.S. - I would add Terry Gilliam to that list of directors who follow their own vision, not the most riveting vision sometimes, but doesn't compromise.
Is there may be great directors and we may miss them as they do not find any kind of distribution.
Anyway, quality is dying, in every direction you may look at.
