I’d love to have Andy’s apartment from _The 40-Year-Old Virgin_. It’s spacious, bright, and apparently affordable in LA on a stock clerk’s money. I’d also love to have Kat’s car from _10 Things I Hate About You_. ---

The knife in _The Iron Mistress_. (I saw that movie as a kid and have tried finding that knife ever since. The closest I have come to identifying it has been [here](http://people.consolidated.net/keen/).) ---

That reminds me-I also want one of the swords from _House of Flying Daggers_. I’d love to have the Bride’s yellow jumpsuit from _Kill Bill Vol. 1_, but strictly for Halloween. I’d never wear it out in public otherwise. ---

> [@elfkin477](#): > > I want the UFO lamp from **The Ring 2** and the snow globe (with the flying team) from The **Santa Clause** movies. I’d like the snowglobe from Citizen Kane; I think Steven Spielberg already owns the sled. (I’m assuming that the answer shouldn’t include science-fiction devices, or else I’d say a holodeck or the Defiant from DS9.) ---

> [@Dewey Finn](#): > > Because the example given was something that could exist, a movie prop. Didn’t say props, tho. Said items in movies. I see a difference. Whatever the OP intended, it’s a fun thread idea. I could say the Tardis and it would fit either intention. Cool looking prop, awesome movie (8th Doctor) item. ---
