Classic ads from Lucas and Spielberg are pieces of film history

It’s finds like this that make updating the Fun Stuff section so enjoyable. Way back in the day, legendary directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas used to run newspaper ads whenever one of their colleague’s movies bested their own in domestic film rentals (possible jargon for box office numbers). Talk about cool!

Check out three more ads, including one in which Lucas congratulates James Cameron for the success of Titanic, after the jump.
