Here we've drawn up a list of ten great examples of film scenes, trailers and clips recreated in LEGO -- although, perhaps controversially, we've deliberately left out any Star Wars-themed efforts as these could easily fill up a top ten list in their own right.
So, following up the fantastic LEGO music video roundup we recently brought you, here is the film-themed equivalent, and as always, do let us know what we've missed (politely please, we're people too) in the comments below.
1. LEGO Matrix Trinity Help
If you didn't think the awesome special effects from the bullet dodge scene in The Matrix would translate well in the medium of stop motion then you need to see this clip which took a staggering 440 hours (18 days!) to create. Time well spent, we say.
2. LEGO Jaws
With the special bonus of a surprise happy ending, here Steven Spielberg's classic don't-go-into-the-water horror gets a decidedly blocky makeover.
3. Crocodile Dundee - That's A Knife
Very possibly the only funny line in Eighties outback flick Crocodile Dundee is immortalized here in LEGO as Mick whips out his Bowie and flashes it at an unsuspecting would-be mugger.
4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail in LEGO
High-kicking knights and dancing skellingtons await you in this professional LEGO-backed clip that reveals Camelot to be a very silly place indeed.
5. The Battle of Wits in LEGO
Vizzini and the Dread Pirate Roberts fight it out over iocane-spiked goblets in this great revamp of the classic scene from The Princess Bride.
6. Shaun of the Dead LEGO Trailer
If you thought the line "Ooooh, he's got an arm off" from this Brit zombie film could not be more funny (and if so, you're not alone) then wait 'til you see it delivered by a little LEGO man.
7. LEGO Indiana Jones
With official Indiana Jones minifigs available, the rugged adventurer was ripe for a brick film -- and this is a great one. Stick around for the surprise ending that Harrison Ford fans will surely appreciate.
8. Blade Runner - Tears in Rain (in LEGO)
It's amazing to see how the emotion still comes through in this short clip that swaps Rutger Hauer's Batty for an animated lump of plastic.
9. Napoleon Dynamite Bike Jump Scene In Lego
Somehow the slightly amateur quality of this LEGOmation (no offense intended to the creator, we sure as heck could not do any better) juxtaposes really well with the slightly amateur Napoleon Dynamite not quite managing that sweet jump.
10. A Little Going Away Present
This perfectly captures the fax-bashing scene from geek fave Office Space. Be sure to mute it, or don't press play, if you don't want to hear any swears. Or if you really like fax machines.
BONUS: The Simpsons Intro LEGO Style
Not technically a film, hence the "bonus" clip status, but this brilliant LEGOmation that emulates the opening sequence of the The Simpsons to near perfection was done by a then 13-year-old.
