Where are videogames as art (using film metaphor)?

Tags: 

I've heard someone say that, as film was the dominant medium in the 20th century, videogames just might gain ground and become the dominant art form of the 21st century.
I was recently thinking "hmm, where are videogames in comparison to film? How far have things gone since Pong and Tetris? Compared to Lumiere, have we hit Cassavetes or Godard yet?" So I made this little poll, what do others think? (didn't make past New Wave because there's no damn way that we're past that point in videogame history...)
I guess this is a bit frivolous, though. Heh.
