You thought they’d run out of Star Wars films to make Lego games about, right? Wrong. Now the TV series, Clone Wars, is to receive the plastic man treatment. I think it’s tempting to start rolling eyes at the prospect of another Lego game. The Lego Indies have been a bit disappointing, and the prospect of Lego Harry Potter: Years 1–4 may not fill everyone’s hearts with glee. But the Star Wars games were genuinely fantastic, and yet another could be fun. It will feature all the characters from the two seasons of the show, and apparently “brand new battle modes”. There’s also a new version of the level builder, and of course lightsaber fighting. The game site’s here. So, as is obligatory, below you must suggest which other film series merit the Lego treatment. And everyone’s already said Godfather. Go!
I’d like to see lego District 9.
This is probably my secret desire to arm small plastic men with alien weaponry manifesting itself though.
report
@ lego district 9 , that would be brilliant!
report
obligatory Simpsons ref: Lego My Dinner with André.
Memento, Birth of a Nation, The Big Sleep
report
John Carpenter’s The Lego Thing.
report
The African Queen. Lego Bogart and Hepburn! Hippos!
Edit: My wife wins the thread. Hudson Hawk, she says.
report
Lego Fight Club!
Wait, you can do that already with some hair spray and a few bricks you won’t need anymore.
report
Can I get meta and suggest Lego versions of current games as well?
I’d like to see Lego Dragon Age, if only for the sex scenes.
report
@Sobric
I’m not sure they could really make DA’s sex scenes any stiffer or more plastic than they already are. I love the hell out of that game, but those were awful.
report
Lord of the Rings would sort of be the obvious choice.
Lego Eyes Wide Shut? :D
report
Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
report
Lego Inseminator or Lego Baise Moi
report
@Daveface:
I’ll see your Lego Baise Moi and raise you a Lego Debbie Does Dallas.
report
Obvious choices:
Aliens
Star Trek
Less obvious but clearly better choice:
A Fistful of Dollars (and sequels)
report
Serious choice: Lego Back to the Future
Never actually played any of the Lego Film games, mainly because I’ve never really had a suitable player two and playing them solo seems to miss half the point.

May I recommend a haircut?

@mujadaddy
May I recommend you get the cock on your head sawn off?
report
Are you accustomed to giving out unsolicited fashion advice? Although I suppose technically you are asking permission. (Incidentally, I suppose the answer is, no you may not.)
But the hair has been cut a bit since the avatar photo was taken. Its still longish though, but I happen to like it that way.
report
goonies?
report
Lego Clerks. You’d just walk around talking to people.
report
Lego: Mysterious Skin
report
Lego 007, in which Bond and an assortment of Bond girls go up against a rogues’ gallery of Bond villains.
report
See, this right here is a fantastic idea.
report
Is it just me, or have the characters in that picture ceased to look like Lego men and graduated to bizarre Uncanny Valley dwellers who will haunt my dreams?
report
blame LEGO. whatever rules they come up with with their own properties (yellow skin, no whites of the eyes) seem to get conveniently cast aside when a lucrative IP comes along. (witness the first ever body limb proportion change in the Toy Story line too… ugh)
report
Seeing lego toy story toys in the disney store(my 2 year old demands we enter it whenever we go near) made me reflect that a great number of disney properties would be bloody awesome lego games. Lego nightmare before christmas anyone?
report
Surely Jurassic Park.
report
Lego Irreversible / Lego Salo
or on a slightly more serious note Lego Aliens kind of makes sense!!
report
Amusingly unlikely suggestion: Lego Reservoir Dogs.
Suggestion that I think could actually be awesome: Lego Godzilla.
report
Lego Terry Gilliam Super Pack FTW
also
Lego Labrynth
Lego Neverending Story
Lego Annie Hall (which should be terrible and short)
report
Lego Salute of the Jugger
report
Also Lego The Vikings, Lego Black Shield of Falworth and Lego Spartacus
report
Please for the love of all that is sane leave out the goddamn vehicle sections.
Edit: Ferris Bueller! Back to the Future! Gremlins! The Third Man!
report
Lego Twilight….it will happen and we will all shake our fists at the sky in anger!
report
My wife actually wanted to know why they hadn’t done a Lego Star Trek. I had to explain about Lego not having the rights to make ST Lego and as such not being able to make a Lego ST game.
Lego Rock Band is damn surreal.
I would second a Lego Aliens or Lego Terminator (2). Even Lego Avatar. As long as there’s never a Lego Titanic.
Or for more “classic” film – Lego Judgement at Nuremberg, Lego Citizen Kane or Lego The Sound of Music.
Perhaps Lego À bout de souffle would be interesting…
report
Lego Transmetropolitan.
report
I love Star Wars. I love Lego. I hate Lego games. I hate the prequel trilogy. I hate the Clone Wars cartoon.
The hate wins this one.
report
Ive always wanted to do Lego Thundercats
report
Lego Dracula series. The Hammer Studios one.

Lego Picaso… cubism.

Lego Requiem for a dream

Clearly it must be The Lego Princess Bride, or perhaps The Good, The Bad, The Lego.
WaaAAAaaaAAAaaaahhhh

I’m a genius! “Lego 300″.

Comic Book game idea: Lego Marvel, if only for the chance they’d make a lego Deadpool for the sets.
Lego Bill and Ted, Lego Discworld, Lego Snow Crash
report
Lego X-Men!
But the Claremont era comic, not the films. Colourful characters! Great powers! Yay!
report
Lego Saw is all I ask. IMAGINE THE DISMEMBERMENTS.
Although someone mentioned Lego 007 and that probably isn’t too far outside the realm of possibility.
report
Surely the obvious one is MacGyver?
(The central theme of the show being that he solves problems by creating useful objects out of random crap lying around)
report
Which leads us to: LEGO A-TEAM. To coincide with the movie, of course.
report
Lego Scenes from a Marriage
report
Lego Hitchcock is the only answer. You’d maybe want to avoid the more weightier films like Vertigo but I can’t see how a Lego North By Northwest would be anything other than fantastic and Cary Grant looked like a Lego man anyway!
report
LegoHead (Lego EraserHead)?
report
Lego Twelve Angry Men
Just because it’d be the most boring game ever conceived, considering the lego characters never actually talk

The different types of minigames would be ridiculous.

Okay guys. The lego thing was cute for a while but you’ve got to stop.
report
i mean the games not the comments
im talking to an imaginary developer person who is in front of me imaginarily
report
imagine that you werent imagining things. why would they have to stop? because every lego game is a game that could have been made that -you- might have liked?
report
Lego: Left 4 Dead?
report
I will give you all my worldly possessions to make this.
report
The Seven Lego Samurai and/or The Magnificent Lego Seven.

Surely it should be Lego Fifth Element.
Or Lego The Running Man.

Lego Schindler’s List
…….. what?……
ok, Lego Saving Private Ryan, happy now?
report
Lego Schindler’s List has been done.
I can’t remember where I got this link from, it might even have been RPS, but here it is.
Konzentrationslager, the Lego Death Camp. It’s several Lego sets Polish artist Zbigniew Libera made up using Lego’s endorsements (without them knowing what exactly it was for). Needless to say, when they found out, bricks were shat.
report
Lego Dogma – imagine the cute little lego Azrael. ahhhhhh.
or Lego Being John Malkovich. Particularly looking forward to the level where lego John Malkovich enters his own brain to find himself surrounded by a menagerie of other lego John Malkovichs.

Lego A Clockwork Orange!
Lego Sex And The City!
Lego Hot Shots!
Lego Xena!

I’m not sure this was supposed to be a reply, but who knows what I’ve been thinking a minute ago.
report
Lego Dune: The Classic Saga (books 1-6).
Tons of brilliant and varied characters to play as and (in later books) lots of varied settings, too. Lots of room for epic battles. Imagine Lego renditions of the Lord Leto in his metamorphosed form. Play as Miles Teg with his hyper-human reflexes. Play as a whole lot of Duncan Idahos. Bash people over the head with Gurney Halleck’s baliset. Drive spice miners and fly ornithopters. Throw in some more off-the-wall playable characters like in the Star Wars games, too, like Edric the Navigator.
report
I would like a Lego Settlers, please.
Think about it.
report
LEGO Starship Troopers
report
LEGO Casablanca … why not !
report
I think it’s time for Lego to move forward and make Lego games out of other games instead. Lego Fallout would be interesting (only grey bricks allowed of course). I guess Halo Lego is obvious, and Lego Warcraft, and Lego 4 Dead.
report
Edit: I realise Lego games out of games was suggested already.
report
LEGO : Apocalypse Now. Get some! Get some!

Lego :Requiem For a Dream. A chilling lego-based exploration of drugs and their role in today’s plastic, modular society.

haha yes, they’ll need a double ended piece, too…
