What type of music/film would you consider "art" instead of merely "entertainment"?

Classical music... Mozart, Bach... created music from what they felt. Is that art, or entertainment?

Enter the lyric - quite a good amount of songs over the past 50 years have been politically driven. So none of it is art, it's all entertainment, and the "artists" created their works for the sole purpose of either 1. making money, or 2. having others enjoy what they've created?

If so, then where does it end? Where is the line drawn? How is that different from Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling? Did he paint it just to put on a good show and to have people entertained by looking at it?

(I don't mean to get off topic here, just trying to understand your perspective)
