Tiny LEGO theater has a working mechanical projector
There's hardly anything you can't build with LEGO. This construction by Ricardo Oliviera beats even the LEGO Taj Mahal — it's a mini-theater that can actually project film on its minuscule screen.
Check out the gallery below and you'll see the model's intricate detail, including cup holders, seat numbers, and sconces on the walls. While its three-frame-per-second frame rate isn't quite the traditional 24fps of film, it's way-cool nonetheless. Creating content for it could be the beginning of a whole new art form.

This would would be awesome if the movies were spoofs on real movies only with lego actors.

LOL that's cool. It should play the lego "The Italian Job" on it.

What type of film does it use?

Hmmm .. combine 8 projector assemblies with some prisms and/or mirrors and some mechanical synchronization, and you could get 24 fps.
