    When Titanic Beat Star Wars [Images]

    When movies pass each other as the top-grossing movie of all time, there’s been a trend on congratulating each other in the paper. In 1997,  when Titanic passed Star Wars as the highest-grossing movie, George Lucas took out a full-page ad in Variety congratulating him. This is that ad (click to enlarge):

      I think it's very very cool. Even though…(now please don't hate me) I am not a big Star Wars fan, But seeing this tribute I think George Lucas is a class act.
      Blessings, Joanne

      • Nigel G Mitchell on May 30, 2012 10:41 pm

        No problem, Joanne, we embrace all geeks here. And I agree, it's really classy

    2. Alex J. Cavanaugh on May 30, 2012 6:47 pm

      That is great!
      I've always liked how Spielberg gives nods to Lucas in his movies with strategically placed Star Wars toys.

      • Nigel G Mitchell on May 30, 2012 10:41 pm

        I agree, they have an awesome relationship

    3. Melissa Bradley on May 31, 2012 4:22 am

      Very cool! Hopefully Jim will be congratulating Joss very soon.

      • Nigel G Mitchell on May 31, 2012 7:55 pm

        That would be awesome

    4. Tony Laplume, Scouring Monk on May 31, 2012 6:46 am

      George Lucas will always have my respect, for this and many other things.

      • Nigel G Mitchell on May 31, 2012 7:55 pm

        Agreed, classy

    5. spacerguy on May 31, 2012 1:58 pm

      This darkside relief proves Lucas is a good sport. You've gotta hand it to Cameron.

      • Nigel G Mitchell on May 31, 2012 7:56 pm

        Pretty cool
