These pictures feature recreations of some of the most memorable movie posters--all made of the [classic children's toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-set). Somehow "Reservoir Dogs" and "Scarface" don't seem as intimidating in their [LEGO renditions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willy-wonka-the-chocolate-factory-lego), but I simply adore both the "I Am Legend" and "Simpsons Movie" spoofs. Take a browse through the gallery and soon you too will want to revert back to playing with LEGO. **Implications** - Businesses that are able to transform or modify a pop culture reference to embody more endearing qualities will benefit by appealing to a different group of consumers.
