For a long enough voyage that significant language drift may happen, then I think some accommodations for the arts will be necessary, including creating movies or other entertainment. The old Netflix library will become less and less relevant to the voyagers -- how will someone who was born on a ship just like their parents and grandparents find any entertainment in an episode of Seinfeld or Friends when they can't relate to anything in the show?
But by the time such a voyage is possible, content creation will likely be entirely virtual, so wouldn't need much room on the ship.

In some sense, the crew will be like a small group of survivors living in the ruins of a great empire. They see what their ancestors were capable of, but they are unable to replicate most of it. The legacy content in the old Netflix library was created by a society with the same technology but vastly superior resources. Its creators were often more talented than the best and the brightest of the current generation, and they certainly could draw on a much wider range of life experiences.
