so tell me exactly what revelation that scene made you have about yourself or the human condition? or what complex emotion that you have no words to describe did it evoke? these are a few things that film-as-art strives for.
it's ok to like these movies, taste is entirely subjective. but just because you really like something doesn't mean you can declare it to be something that many, many people have been spent decades determining the criteria by which it is judged

Please provide us with the entire canonical list of objective criteria by which film is determined to be art. I can only assume from this statement and its confidence that there is such a list, and that it is universally agreed upon. After all, it's not as if "art" is a broad and deeply subjective category, even when applied to the medium of film.
Because, of the two criteria you've provided, I could name plenty of films commonly considered "art" which didn't evoke either a revelation or a complex emotion which I couldn't describe.
