...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.

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

For starters, off the top of my head... 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.

Jack Nicholson’s falsified passport from The Passenger? Monica Vitti?

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