Memorbilia you'd love to have

“I want the Black Bird from The Maltese Falcon”

Damn it, beaten to the punch. Oh, well…

Someone earlier wanted a Burton Batmobile? There’s one here in Richmond (he won it in a contest).

Since I can’t have the Black Bird, I’d like to have the gold bar that Bond tempts Goldfinger with in “Goldfinger.”

“Little Nelly” the gyrocopter from YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

Nigel Tuffnel’s guitar from This is Spinal Tap, the one which has never been played and shouldn’t even be looked at and also his amp which goes to 11. And as long as I’m on the topic, the pod thing that Derek Smalls gets stuck in.

A speeder bike from Return of the Jedi (preferably a working model)

Lester Burnham’s '70 Firebird from American Beauty, along with a bunch of other cars inc. “Eleanor,” Bullit’s ride, Mad Max’s.

And I’ll second the lightsaber from ANH and the terminator arm from T2

Mr. Blue Sky, the first thing I though of was the baby from Eraserhead. But I think I saw a documentary or read an article somewhere that said that Lynch refuses to talk about how it was made or what it was made of. . .it’s probably not around anymore. A documentary I saw on A&E or Bravo or one of those stations studied his hobby of making various things (art, mostly) out of meat. . .

Budding film directors, henceforth you must freeze your meat-babies if they are to become collector’s items! :smiley:

As I recall, that wallet actually belonged to Quentin Tarrantino.
Anyway, after going through my dvds again today and giving it some thought, I concluded that one of the coolest things to basically ever own is a pack of the nails cigarettes from the view askew movies. Theres a pack in every film except Clerks.
I also want the Pringles can from Clerks. Then again it has been said that I have an unhealthy Kevin Smith addiction.

Scaramanga’s golden gun from The Man With The Golden Gun

Ringo Starr’s magic lamp from 200 Motels

Any of the Fillmore posters for Jefferson Airplane or Frank Zappa

The Jeannie bottle from I Dream of Jeannie (I know these are on ebay a lot, I just
never get one)

When the LP of Jesus Christ Superstar was first released, it couldn’t be sold in the Soviet Union. Unsanctioned copies went for $100 (back in 1971!).

Two enterprising Russians took Andrew Lloyd Webber’s music, wrote Russian lyrics commending capitalism, and did a show called “Rock and Roll At Dawn.” I would kill for anything from that show.

On the other hand, I do have a Playbill from that well-knoown show “Hulla Baloo.” Set in a loo. With contributions from Tim Ric and ALW.

I’d love to have the double neck 8 over 4 BC Rich bass Derek plays.

Magnum’s Ferarri.

         I know Friend's has gotten pretty old by now, but in the early days it was funny.  When Joey and Chandler lived together, they had this big black and white photo of two guys doing some gag.  It was mainly just their heads shown.  I don't even know who those people in the phote were, but I always assumed it was some older comedic duo that I just didn't recognize offhand.  Anyway, first of all, I hope someone knows what I am talking about and can tell me who is in that picture.  Second, I'd love to have that picture.   

           I claim the Darth Vader costume from Star Wars.

The Martian bugs from Quatermass and the Pit (=Five Million Years to Earth). I’d put them outside my door at Halloween and scare the hell of the little kids.

John Doe’s notebooks from Seven.

The headpiece to the staff of Ra.

A lament box.

(Although my want for the first one has wained somewhat- I have a friend who goes on and on about knowing someone who has one of the six that were made for the film.)

Scrivener? To my knowledge (and with a quick Google search to confirm), Fender never made a Strat bass. A Precision Bass looks like a Strat, but is a different model. McCartney played the Hofner 500/1 Violin bass and a Rickenbacker bass, but didn’t play Fenders, to my knowledge…

I want:

  • The Black Bird from the Maltese Falcon (keep yer hands off it, Eve!)
  • The model of the ship the True Love, from the Philadelphia Story (my, she was yar).
  • Any of the guitars from Nigel’s collection in Spinal Tap, the guitars from the movie BackBeat (about the Beatles in Hamburg), and pretty much any other guitars from movies…
  • An Iron Giant.

Quite right. The Macca holy relic is the Rickenbacker. (So what the heck was I thinking when I posted?)


What’s a home library without a few priceless tomes? I’d pick “The Book of the Film” from Monty Python & the Holy Grail (costume-gorilla hand not included), Dr. Frankenstein [pere]'s laboratory book, “How I Did It” from Young Frankenstein, and Balkan’s copy of “The Ninth Gate of the Kingdom of Shadows” from The Ninth Gate.

And when serving rare vintages in said library? How about the two goblets from The Princess Bride? Only, don’t pick the one with the alocaine powder in it…

One more thing: that wonderful ornithopter that Matthew Modine launched in the classroom in Birdy, because I started a thread about it once.

Oh! Oh! I also want ‘The Map’ from Time Bandits! Even with a decent search, I can’t find a reproducable print big enough to get any details on the thing. :frowning:

Norrington’s coat from Pirates of the Caribbean. Doesn’t matter if it’s that one, specifically, but I want an 18th-century Royal Navy overcoat.

The vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace, and the flagon with a dragon.

The Count’s parchments full of arcane symbols from the original Nosferatu.

The complete set of the bridge from the original Enterprise with everything working.

I’ve currently been contemplating a Barnabas Collins cane from “Dark Shadows”. The house(s) used for the exterior shots would be a nice thing to have.

Dijon Warlock, maybe you should contact this guy:

[from the current issue of Chuck Shepard’s “News of the Weird”]

The Disneyana enthusiasts were dismissive of the obsessives of Star Trek, characterizing them as “devoted to some stupid pop-culture fad,” according to Marsh. That might or might not describe Tony Alleyne, 50, who placed his small Leicestershire, England, apartment on the market for the equivalent of US$1.7 million, an extravagant price for the neighborhood but realistic, he believes, because he has spent nearly 10 years crafting the premises as a finely detailed model of the starship Enterprise. Included are a life-size transporter control, a gigantic warp core drive, voice-activated lighting and security, and an infinity mirror. Alleyne is divorced but insisted that he started the project after, not before, his wife walked out on him. [Herald Sun (Melbourne, Australia), April 4]
