If there's one show that I can't get enough of in re-runs, it's Seinfeld. The quirky show was ahead of its time and while it went out on top, it easily could have continued long after they dropped the curtain on the show for good.

One of the running gags in the show is the made-up films that they talk about and go see at the theater. Over the course of the series, they built up quite a collection of faux films and our good friends over at Next Movie recently created faux movie posters for many of the films mentioned in the series.

One of our favorite faux films was "Sack Lunch" which is the film that Elaine wants to see in lieu of The English Patient. As you Seinfeld aficionados will recall Elaine absolutely hated The English Patient and it becomes her nemesis in a way.

For the rest of you, here's a quick clip of the scene in question.

Here is one of the posters for a film called "The Blimp," naturally a historical drama based on the Hindenburg disaster starring Bradley Cooper and Amanda Seyfried because, why not?

Check out the rest of the posters over at Next Movie.
