"es actually do have the 'indie' analog like Films, there are plenty of indie avenues for developers on ALL platforms, the PC is a great example of the tons of great indie games that seem to be in healthy abundance. On consoles you can look no further then the 360's sections for indie and user created games, while not always amazing the option is there for gems to happen.
Indie games may be harder to find, but it's not exactly easy to see tons of indie films in theatres either, infact not being a big movie renter I'd struggle to even know where to start other then hoping an indie film is on the net somewhere.

I find it's easier to cry at the worst of movies, maybe that's what they are going for and kudos for that, they can make me get a reaction in 2 hours or less whereas lots of great games that last 10-20-40 hours can't get a peep out of me really other then enjoyment.
Games can't exactly have a yard stick put up to them I guess, but I honestly do see enough art in games to be happy. Though you do need an understanding more then I assume a painting does, to considering it artistic. I think designing a level to lead a player in a specific direction without signs or waypoints is art, and I think gaming is full of these design queues which I do consider art.
