So Cameron > Spielberg/Lucas?

Right now, definitely. But bothed peaked higher in their careers than Cameron likely ever will, at least in regards to Lucas' sci-fi work and for Spielberg, overall body of work. Cameron does deserve credit for making the highest grossing film of all time, though.

Goddamnit. I hate to disagree but you are so wrong.

T2 was epic. Titanic was epic. To say that those two films, in terms of cultural importance and popularity, are not comparable to Star Wars, ET and Jurassic Park is just wrong.

Im sorry rocketpig.

He's talking about quality, but if you think T2 had a cultural impact as big as Star Wars or Jurassic Park I don't know what to tell you.

I'm definitely talking about quality but overall impact works as well.

I'm sorry but I think anyone would have to be insane to argue Cameron over Spielberg's body of work... I mean, Christ, look at this list:

Jaws, Close Encounters, Indiana Jones, Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, ET, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan.

As for Lucas, I'd give him the sci-fi nod for the Star Wars trilogy for obvious reasons but let's not forget that he also directed THX-1138, a pretty awesome film before he raped it (as only Lucas can do to his own movies) a few years back.
