We posted simultaneously, **Auntbeast**! I’ll give you the right of the slippers, & stick to the necklace, if I get Glenn Close’s wardrobe from “Dangerous Liaisons” tossed in. Tho heavens knows where I’d wear any of them! –Beck ---

Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber, and Count Dooku’s lightsaber. The Jolly Roger from **Cutthroat Island**. King Arthur’s coconut halves, the Holy Hand Grenade, and Tim the Enchanter’s staff and ram’s-horn hat, from **Monty Python and the Holy Grail**. ---

[QUOTE=brewha] [monty python] It’s only a model [/monty python] [/QUOTE] The model of Camelot. 😉 Also, the Delorean from BTTF has been mentioned… but I really just want the Flux Capacitor and the Time Circuits. Runners up: The model of Devil’s Tower from Close Encounters that Roy builds on the table. I got a perfect spot for that in my dining room. The Tilt-a-Whirl from Explorers. The Last Starfighter video game cabinet. HAL’s red eye and surrounding enclosure. Han Solo in carbonite. … God, I’m a geek. ---

In contrast to many people, I like Strider’s ranger sword better than Anduril. No company currently makes a decent replica of it. The Museum Replica versions of any weapon are wall-hanger pieces of crap. I sure hope Viggo hung on to his steel version of it when he went home. Also from the Lord of the Rings movies, I’d love to have Theodin’s armor and Eomir’s helm. Ditto Decker’s gun from Blade Runner. Neo’s lobby-storming outfit from The Matrix (including gun harnesses) would be cool. I especially like the Big Damn Trenchcoat. Indiana Jone’s fedora is probably one of the only hats that would look good on me. Too bad they’re way out of style now. I also covet his bag. Buliwyf’s armor from The 13th Warrior also kicked ass. Hawkeye’s knife from Last of the Mohicans was nice too. (Can you tell I’m a guy?) ---

any of humphrey bogart’s fedoras from any movie he ever wore one in. (why is it don’t men wear them any more? they’re way cooler than baseball caps) the mysterious box from _kiss me deadly_. i wanted the oil painting of laura, but now i guess i’ll have to settle for one of the floor clocks in her apartment. the heart of the ocean from _titanic_ (i have no idea why. the thing’s vulgar as can be). glinda’s wand from _wizard of oz_ candelabra carried in _dracula_ the gold statuette and staff topper from _raiders of the lost ark_ one of the underwater vehicles from _the abyss_ ---

Well, I would have taken the Black Bird, or Clint Eastwood’s poncho, or a few other things, but they’ve all been snapped up. No matter. Depending on my mood, I’d like Elwood’s portrait of _Harvey_ (though one of his business cards would do, if they actually had some printed), or the clock that showed _High Noon_, or even _Ben-Hur_’s chariot. Oh, and don’t forget Charles Laughton’s flask of spiked coffee in _Witness for the Prosecution_. ---

How about a barstool from Barfly. Oh, you probably don’t care, but Amazon is selling DVD’s of Barfly for almost $200 now because they’ve stopped making new copies. I couldn’t believe that when I saw it. Favorite quote: Wanda: “I hate people…do you hate them?” Henry: “No… but I seem to feel better when they’re not around.” ---

Every bit of gear possible from _Mystery Men_ Especially baby bowlers bowling ball with a skull incased in it, and the shovelers helmet and shovel. A phaser rifle from _ST: First Contact_ The landing shuttle from _Starship troopers_, Toss in a rifle too. ---

It’s not a movie, but I’d LOVE to own the fat stuffed chicken on Gilmore Girls. It makes no sense but it looks so huggable that I want it. I also want the book that Frodo writes his memoir in. It’s a spiffy book. ---

I’d like Dirty Harry Calahan’s .44 Magnum I know what you’re thinking. Did he fire 6 shots or only 5? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I lost count myself. But seeing as this a .44 Magnum, the world’s most powerful handgun and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? Barring that, I’d like the Holy Grail from _Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade_. ---
