...love to own.

THE RULES

It must fit in your home.
So no Millenium Falcons. (And don't lie and say your house is as big as Bill Conti's, okay?)

It must function.
No light sabers, because if you picked up one, hit the "on" button, it won't light up (even if you make that fuzzy noise with your mouth, which dollars to doughnuts you'll probably try).

No miniatures*.
(sigh! Do I have to say this again?) No Millenium Falcons......or Death Stars, King Kongs, or Fortresses of Solitude SPFX miniatures.


*Why? BECAUSE WE'RE KEEPING THIS A HORSE RACE. Every nerd wants franchise memorabilia, so I'd like to hear something else besides the above stuff, that's why.

Criswell predicts that there will be STAR WAR and STAR TRACK nerds who will ignore the rules, start drooling over which space ship is more awesome/detailed/has more firepower.

Criswell also predicts that PD will say that he already owns the movie prop he covets, that it's a thong, and that he's wearing it right now.

So basically, you're saying something like a costume?

I'll take Captain Kirk's jacket from Star Trek iii - destroyed on Genesis - and then magically brought back through movie magic in Star Trek IV.

A prop includes stuff like furniture, housewares, etc. Anything used on-set that doesn't break my 3 rules.

Got it. Darren McGavin's lamp from A Christmas Story.

John Doe's handwritten books from David Fincher's SEVEN... they were actually handwritten, so it would be fun to browse through them and see what the prop department actually wrote... would also make terrific conversation piece coffee table books.

Rules aren’t restrictive enough. Must also be between 1977 and 1983 and not cost you more than $50 dollars.

(And, yes, it would fit inside my living room/dining room!)

I'm waiting for the first dodgy pervert to say Indy's whip! Lol.

I don't think that was an actually functioning prop. :-)

I'm not really a film prop guy, and I live in a tiny one-room apartment anyway. But if I wanted a prop from something, it would be from one of the ALIEN films, I think. Obviously can't house a giant xenomorph model, and miniatures are not allowed, so what should it be?

Maybe that bird that bops its head, which appears in several films, including the latest ROMULUS?

Or something from JURASSIC PARK. What would be small enough to put on a shelf? The raptor claw that Grant keeps, before chucking it from the tree?

I'd love to pick something from an Antonioni film, but not sure what it should be.

A camera from Blow Up?
A stock exchange note pad from L’Eclisse?
Jack Nicholson’s falsified passport from The Passenger?
Monica Vitti?

It's like something Elton John would drive through the Evergladeswink

Something from JAWS...
The license plate from the gutted shark, or Chrissie's rubber arm from the autopsy...

Jack Nicholson’s falsified passport from The Passenger?

Probably something like that, which combines my passion for both Nicholson and Antonioni.

But Monica Vitti, rest in peace...how I wouldn't have loved to meet her in her prime.

Nancy Allen's bra from 1941.
