The 1960’s Batmobile - the one that was built from a Lincoln Futura. I’d like one of the prop guns from Logan’s Run, too. Actually, I’ve been thinking of building one. [Relevant link.](http://www.racprops.com/issue4/logansrun_dspistol/) Dr. No’s island would be pretty cool, too, but then I wouldn’t have anywhere to drive my Batmobile. ---

I love swords, so I nominate Excalibur from a little known (outside the UK) rendition of the Merlin story (Sam Neil as Merlin) Or Gandalf’s sword. Or the reforged ‘shards of whossname’ ---

> [@](#): > > Or the reforged ‘shards of whossname’ The sword belonged to Isildur, and was named Narsil. After its reforging, it was re-named Anduril. ---

Although the movie sucked, the Riddler’s light-up jacket from **Batman Forever** is intriguing. The “1982 time machine” from **Napoleon Dynamite**. One of the ray guns from **Mars Attacks!** The No. 5 robot from **Short Circut** ---

**Lobsang** , that Merlin story gets aired on US television from time to time. While you’re collecting swords, how about the Excalibur from the John Boorman movie _Excalibur_ (the one with Nicol Williamson as Merlin). You could hang the pair of them on your wall, crossed behind Arthur’s dragon shield. _Conan the Barbarian_ had a couple of cool swords: the one forged by Conan’s father during the opening credits, and the one Conan took from the ancient tomb. ---

Oh, and you are thinking of Elendil, the first king of Gondor. Isildur was his eldest son. Aragorn was descended from Anarion, Elendil’s younger son. ---

Oops, I goofed. Elendil had two sons, Isildur and Anarion. Anarion’s descendants became kings of Gondor. When their line died out, the stewards (Borimir’s family) ruled in their stead. Isildur’s descendants became kings of Arnor. After Arnor was destroyed, they became chieftains of the Rangers. Aragorn was descended from Isildur’s line. ---
