Films and the cinema provide a lot of great inspiration for LEGO builders all over the world. You’ll find LEGO models inspired by everything from Mad Max to Toy Story here.

Legod of War by Mar Delgado

YouTuber Mar Delgado has posted an intriguing trailer for a LEGO CGI movie he’s working on, inspired by the game God of War:

Very cool.

(And no, this isn’t an “official” trailer. Sadly, there will be no LEGO God of War after LEGO Batman. Nor Grand Theft LEGO.)

Brickbuilt Wall-E by Joe Meno

Joe Meno, editor of BrickJournal magazine, built the first well-done model of Pixar’s adorable little robot Wall-E. The creation features moving parts including the neck and arms and rolling treads and took three months to plan.

Exterminate! Kill the doctor!

Steven Locke (legoavon) presents a work-in-progress Dalek and Davros which are already by far the best I’ve seen at their size (Steven has also built bigger ones which are possibly better). His part use is breathtaking. I invite every sci-fi lover to browse Steve’s folders as he is an incredibly talented builder.

Johnny 5 robot from Short Circuit

Inspired and influenced by Steven Marshall’s Johnny 5 robot from the movie Short Circuit, Brickshelf user rack911 has constructed an equally amazing model of Johnny 5. Check out the gallery for some cool mechanical detail pictures.

Harrison’s Little Shop of Horrors

I’ll admit to never having seen Little Shop of Horrors, but that didn’t mean I didn’t instantly recognize Harrison‘s rendition of this cult classic:

More on Flickr.

Harrison made it hard to pick just one creation to feature today. Don’t miss:

Ant attack scene from Indiana Jones

Jordan Schwartz (Sir Nadroj) built what he thinks is one of the most disgusting scenes in all the Indiana Jones movies that has the ground crawling in giant ants. Although I haven’t seen the movie yet, Jordan’s scene looks very promising.

Mike Psiaki’s Savoia S-21

A new creation by Mike Psiaki (Brickshelf) is nice to see, but when that new creation is a Savoia S-21 seaplane inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso, well, it’s that much more awesome.

I am LEGO

Yul Burman Karel (Flickr) gives I am Legend the LEGO twist with his I am LEGO poster. I love the tagline, “The last minifigure on Earth is not alone.”

Raiders of San Francisco?

Now I want to build a Lego Boulder. If only I had 5 million bricks!

Gugick’s Taj Mahal makes it to the movies

The skilled landmark modeler Arthur Gugick‘s recent landmark sculpture is made for a special purpose; it is a commissioned piece for an Australian movie called Taj (more details on MOCpages). Here’s an interesting fact: the model was constructed to be purposely damaged in the movie, and specilized fracture-points were incorporated so the model would break apart into about 40 pieces when it gets tipped over in one of the scenes.

Cozying up to the Gryffindor fire with Garth Danielson

It’s rather rare that we feature a LEGO Harry Potter creation, but Garth Danielson helps us end that drought with his great “Gryffindor Fire”:

Garth uses a cool bent wall technique to evoke the tower, with a detailed fireplace and furniture.
