on my chest, the sled goes elsewhere.Jaws - my favorite is when Scheider first sees the shark, and says "Your gonna need a bigger boat" - classic. And "Jaws" on the whole was a decent film. But the audience was wowed not by the story, but by the mechanical shark. So it's like Spielberg, along with the rest of Hollywood said "AH! That's what will sell movies - big special effects and action sequences" - and the rest is history.
See the thread below about "great American directors", and add the usual suspects from the international ranks - Fellini, Bergman, Kurosowa, etc. and you'll have a good idea of what I consider "art". But I admit some ignorance of foreign directors - especially recent ones. Victor and Patrick are a much better source.
I gave at the office!
