Yeah it is possible I took the term too strict [1] but wouldn't the broad definition of it include every movie ever made?

All movies are entertainment, but only good movies are entertaining
Is entertainment an objective term, and entertaining a subjective term?
Sort of. Entertainment is a classification taking into account purpose (Films are a form of entertaining one's self/time). Entertaining is to do with how one emotionally processes something.
The best distinction is the one represented in Collin's English Dictionary:
entertainment (ˌɛntəˈteɪnmənt) n.
1. the act or art of entertaining or state of being entertained
2. an act, production, etc, that entertains; diversion; amusement
entertaining (ˌɛntəˈteɪnɪŋ) adj.
1. serving to entertain or give pleasure; diverting; amusing
I'm curious about your use of the word "entertaining"...
Do you mean to exclude dramas, tragedies, or things that deal with serious subject matter? Or do you mean to say that Das Leben der Anderen isn't a good movie?
(Language is fun! :-) )
