  3. Another good lego movie: by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    Another funny lego movie is Legos are not Enough. I saw this at a film festival, and it beat out all the other 'serious' films, even though it was made by a bunch of engineering students whereas its competition was made by people who wore a lot of black clothing.
