jakeem Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 CBS Sunday Morning did a segment today on the rising popularity of movie memorabilia, and mentioned that Las Vegas casino owner Steve Wynn paid $4 million via an auction for the figurine from "The Maltese Falcon." So what items from movie history would you love to have? For me, it would be either an authentic Roy Hobbs baseball card from "The Natural" (like the one on my avatar) or the "Wonderboy" bat from the same movie. I wouldn't mind a New York Knights baseball cap and uniform, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedracer5 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Errol Flynn. err... I'd love Cyd Charisse's green dress from Singin' in the Rain. A pair of Judy Garland's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. Although, since Judy Garland is a few inches shorter than I, I'm sad at the possibility of the shoes being too small. I'd have to put them on at least once. An arrow from The Adventures of Robin Hood. The knife from Psycho. The bugle mouthpiece from From Here to Eternity. So many more. I'd love to have tons of stuff from my favorite movies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dargo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sure would've liked to have been the guy who purchased McQueen's '68 GT-390 Ford Mustang in the movie "Bullitt" for 6,000 bucks and after seeing the ad for it in the L.A. Times classified section and after Warner Bros was done using it. That baby would probably get at least $10 Million at any classic car auction today. (...yep, there are a lot of high-roller gearheads with more money than sense out there today...ever watch the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale?...that'll prove my point here!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bastet Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 As a general rule, I'd want a prop that was useful in addition to its sentimental value for being in a favorite film, so something like a cocktail shaker from one of the Thin Man movies. However, I'd make an exception for the intercostal clavicle from Bringing Up Baby (even though it's just a random fake bone) or the Polaroid photo from Thelma & Louise.

traceyk65 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 **James Bond's original Aston-Martin (though I just watched a show today that alleges it's missing?

Dargo Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just a few for now. Bruno Anthony's lobster tie from Strangers on a Train. Just for display, not to wear. The Indians figurine from And Then There Were None. Before they were broken apart. A stuffed bird from Psycho. I draw the line at Ma Bates. Ivan the Terrible's fur coat, fur cap, and staff. Quite an outfit. Noticing here that you made special note of NOT wearin' the lobster tie but THEN failed to state the same with ol' Ivan's wardrobe, I'm now wonderin' if you'd ever sport that ensemble if it ever came your way, Vaultrin? And if so, might I suggest you keep an eye out for any PETA members while strolling around in that little number!!! (...though then again, I suppose the staff might come in pretty handy in such an event, eh?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Film Fan 50s 60s 70s Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'd like to have a Star Trek phaser as used in the original TV series. I once wrote William Shatner in 1969, and asked him if there was one lying around, to send me one. Apparently there wasn't one lying around for him to send me.....
