I’d kinda like one of the Vipers from BattleStar Galactica, or else maybe an X-Wing or an ARC-170 (The ARC-170 would be better for road trips, what with all the seats for buddies or extra storage space) from Star Wars. Or maybe just one of the Venator star cruisers from the prequels. They were sexy. I always liked the phasers from the Star Trek movies (the old school ones, not the remote control-shaped ones from the TNG era). ---

Val Kilmer’s pocketknife from _The Saint_. Puts my Leatherman to shame, it does. ---

Have y’all seen the movie High Society? It’s a remake of The Philadelphia Story, with Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby. It’s not as good as The Philadelphia Story, except for the Cole Porter soundtrack. And _ **the library** _. Yes, Uncle Willy has the library of my dreams. Ceiling-high bookshelves covered with leather-bound tomes. Tall velvet-curtained windows. Lots of comfy seating. And, oh my God, when you push a button a whole section of shelves glides to one side and a huge walnut-paneled bar slides out from the wall, fully stocked with every kind of booze and shiny glasses and snifters and shakers and who knows what-all. Frank and Bing lean elegantly against the bar, getting hammered and singing Cole Porter songs and looking extremely sexy (mostly Frank, but in that atmosphere with that much alcohol available Bing starts looking pretty good too – and I’m only watching, not drinking). I want that library bad. ---

Oh yes- I’d prefer the 2015 DeLorean from _Back to the Future Part II_ with the Mr. Fusion® garbage-to-energy converter. There’s just not enough plutonium around these parts to power a time-traveling car. ---

I don’t want it any longer but when I was in high school I desperately wanted a red nylon windbreaker jacket like James Dean’s in _Rebel Without A Cause_. I got a cotton turquoise one that was similar and a red wool zip-up that was similar, but by the time I learned that JC Penney was selling the nylon ones they were sold out. I lost interest when some of the geekiest assholes in school were wearing them. I heard that Sammy Davis, Jr., wound up with that actual jacket and that put a stopper in my desire to have one. ---

I want the living room with the dolphins in it from **2010**. If it’s too much to ask, too hard to maintain, or too smelly, I’ll settle for the house in **The Ghost and Mrs. Muir**. ---

Yes, but the great thing about the Infinite Improbability Drive is that with _it_, you _could_ own all that stuff and more… just figure out the Improbability Factor for Freddy’s Razor-Glove appearing on your desk and push the button… …warning, some side-effects may occur from trivial use of the IID… ---

I’ll take - any time-travelling machine (DeLorean, Tardis… whatever, so long as it works) because then I can have unlimited wealth by buying lottery tickets, as discussed in some detail elsewhere on these boards - my own, obedient Terminator (as in T2) - Jacqueline Bisset as seen in ‘Day For Night’ ---
