Saw this topic online. It has prompted some interesting discussions among my group, so I thought it would be fun to post here:
If you could own any movie prop in the history of cinema, what would it be? For purposes of this discussion buildings (such as Ironman's house) or vehicles (the Back to the Future DeLorean) are not included.
And just because I know the conversation will devolve into this otherwise, your choice should be based on how cool you think it is, not because it is monetarily valuable.
I would choose the animatronic gopher from "Caddyshack". Glow picks the amp from "Spinal Tap" that goes to Eleven.
What's your pick?
-
Darth Maul's dual bladed light saber.
-
Ron Jeremy's junk, hey?
-
Pretty sure that's no prop.
-
Buffalo Bill's bucket
-
Raiders of the Lost Ark / of the Covenant.
-
Spidey's web...
-
Raiders of the Lost Ark / of the Covenant.
Yup, stole my top pick.

Yup, stole my top pick.
Great .. I'll lift up the lid, you look inside.
-
Ernie McCracken's bowling ball.
Or
The Dude's sweater.
-
Jeep from Jurassic Park
-
Tommy Boy's Marquette Rugby Jacket...
Kind of a dual purpose memorabilia.

Great question...
It has to be from a movie that I really love. A couple that are listed above would be good (the Ark and the amp).
So, I started thinking of some of my favorite movies, and a lot of them don't have too many key props.
So...some I'm considering
Kaffee's "thinking bat" in A Few Good Men (my current leader)
The flight log in A Few Good Men
The coconut shells from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The Holy Hand Grenade from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
The ET puppet (might not be a considered a "prop"...if it is, it might be my top pick)
The earring in The Breakfast Club
Rocky's gloves
The Idol at the very beginning of Raiders
-
In lieu of the entire Quartet pegboard from Usual Suspects, I'd be happy with a Kobayashi mug.
Cap's Shield from Avengers would be right there too.
-
Samuel L. Jackson's wallet from Pulp Fiction.
Spicolli's shoes (Vans) from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Terminator's jacket.
-
The Coke bottle from 'The Gods must be crazy"
Peter Sellers cane from "Being There"
Lee Van Cleef musical pocket watch from "For a Few Dollars More"
Steve McQueen Ball and Glove from "The Great Escape"
-
The Maltese Falcon.
-
Odd Job's bowler hat
-
Wilson
-
I said one prop, people.
But as long as you guys are cheating....
The leg lamp.
Scarlett O'Hara's curtain dress.
The horse hat from Amadeus.

-
Jeep from Jurassic Park
The Jeep over the Explorer?
-
Elwood Blues' briefcase w/ the handcuff.
-
See my handle...
Flux capacitor
-
The Aston Martin from Goldfinger. Easy.
-
Ron Jeremy's junk, hey?
dude's got a face only a motha would love but that's coming from another dude. would that put him in the "2 bag" category? save for his "special purpose", he'd be in a van down by the river
would the bond girls be considered props? i'm good!
-
The Ferrari from Ferris Bueller.
An oscillation overthruster.
A prism, a laser, and a giant pan of popcorn.
Brass knuckles for the hysterical passenger from Airplane.
A basketball from Hoosiers.
Siri with the voice of Iron Man's new armor assistant from age of Ultron.
-
would the bond girls be considered props?
Think about the propriety of that question for a second.
-

Selective concern. ::)

A photon torpedo. Mounted to the hood of my car to be deployed in rush hour traffic.
-
The horse hat from Amadeus.
(http://www.frockflicks.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/top5-amadeus2.jpg)
Top 5 movie of all time for me, but wouldn't you rather have this?

One of my colleagues received the radio with the loop antennae from Gilligan's Island as an anniversary present. I have seen it and touched it.
-
Judge Smails' Billy Baroo

Some great ones in here (love the Vans from Fast Times). I've thought some more about it, and I'll post again to give my final three, by category.
Classic Film: Atticus Finch's brief case from To Kill a Mockingbird
Silly Film: The Holy Hand Grenade from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Just because it's one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies: Kaffee's "thinking bat" from A Few Good Men

The '62 Lincoln from Animal House
Murray's golf club or Dangerfield's golf bag from Caddyshack
The one dollar bill from Trading Places
-

This.
-
I'd take the map from Goonies I think.
Though it would be really, really tough to turn down any one of the lightsabers that wasn't Count Dooku's, cause his was straight garbage no wonder he last his hands and head.
-
Hmm .. Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 broomstick. And a wand would come in handy.
-
Jobu.

Jesus' purple bowling jumpsuit (bowling ball polisher included)
or,
Butch's dads watch

The Eagle 5. Especially if it has a working (conventional) engine.

Props are available for purchase:

Smalls's stepdad's Babe Ruth-signed baseball, knocked over the fence by Benny the Jet Rodriguez.

Just got back from my annual baseball trip (Dodgers and Padres) and while in LA took the Paramount Studios tour where they had the prop robot of The Terminator and we got to sit on the bench from Forrest Gump, which was very cool.
My first thought was Khartoum's head but I don't like the idea of a horse's head on my wall. I think it would be Indiana Jones' whip (and fedora).
-
Jeep from Jurassic Park
Same movie but I want the T-Rex.
-
Great .. I'll lift up the lid, you look inside.
Both of you would die instantly.

Some very cool stuff in there. My favorites:
Samuel L. Jackson's FBI credentials from Snakes on a Plane (https://propstore.com/product/snakes-on-a-plane/neville-flynns-samuel-l-jackson-fbi-id-badge/)
Leonard's AMEX from Memento (https://propstore.com/product/memento/leonard-shelbys-guy-pearce-american-express-credit-card/)

-
The Eagle 5. Especially if it has a working (conventional) engine.
Well $hit, if we're talking working props that actually work I'm taking a Viper from the original BSG....but I guess that's not a movie, so then I'll settle for the Millennium Falcon
-
Now that I'm up in age, the Time Machine from the movies of the same name.
-

In that case, next time you make the Kessel run, please pick me up some beer.
As for me, I would take my own ears.
(https://media.giphy.com/media/Ddxf7AhalbbZm/giphy.gif)
Either that or Dark Helmet's helmet.
-
Samuel L Jacksons wallet from pulp fiction is a great one. Might be my pick as well.
-
This thread is awesome.
Mine would probably be something from Bill the Butcher from Gangs of New York. In order probably the American flag he's draped in when talking to post-coital Amsterdam, then his hat, then a cleaver.
-
I might also take the gunstock war club of Chingachgook's from Last of the Mohicans.
-
Darth Vader's lightsaber or the Sheepdog far from Dumb and Dumber.
-

That's why I clarified a conventional engine. Even if it existed, I don't give a f#@% about hyperdrive (not to mention how far $5 in gas would get you these days)... I want to drive that beast on unleaded gas to Brewer games for tailgating and take it on the road from MU away games.
-
I've changed my mind.
I want the letter that Andy Dufresne buried for Red.
-
In the vehicle category .. the Ferrari or TC's helicopter from Magnum PI.

Topper, if you are going to branch out to TV, why take Magnum's Ferrari when you could have KITT?
-

My mom would be first in line. She's had a major crush on Tom Selleck since he was the Marlboro Man back in the 70's.

Wouldn't you rather have the poster with the hole in it?
-

Yes, so much yes to KITT. And Airwolf.
I think I'll pass on the actual Love Boat, though.

Raquel Welch for the win. The worn down rock hammer would be a good one too.
-
Magnum PI
Citizen Kane
Goldfinger
Racquel Welch
Is the average age in this thread about 80?
A new set of depends and Betty White's phone number and you guys are good to go!

While I don't disagree with you in principle, the Raquel Welch reference is to a prop in The Shawshank Redemption -- a movie from the mid-90s.

My condolences to you. Dyslexic-Mother-In-Law Syndrome affects many of us.
I'd give you a taste of what's to come, but it would be like going back in time and telling a younger version of me to run.

HA! I guess I should have left it as "my then-future mother-in-law" as I originally had it.
I've enjoyed her company and helpful suggestions as official M-I-L for over 16 years now.
-

I hope you have been working on a script after your M-I-L gave you a great movie title to work with.

The Holy Hand Grenade from Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Well, I guess it's time for me to put up, or shut up (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/shining-axe-monty-python-hand-grenade-set-london-auction-1233199?utm_source=fark&utm_medium=website&utm_content=link&ICID=ref_fark). As much as I wish I had that kind of disposable income, I'll be shutting up.
-
The stargate.
-
One of Ty Webb’s uncashed checks.

One of Ty Webb’s uncashed checks.
And then using another prop to go back in time, I circumvent the “Void after 120 days” stamp on the check in order to put 48 $50 WIN tickets on #3 in the 7th Race....I think he’s called Fleet Dreams....Trotter gave him to me!
Oh wait, Chick won’t allow profits off props...so instead I just print 100,000 business cards for “Jennifer Tilly——Football Sales”

The zucchini from Animal House and then I would donate it to one of my pals here on Scoop.

Actually, re-reading this thread (and your original post), I just noticed this...
No, you didn't. ;)
Just defending myself because I appear to have been the one who sent this off the rails with discussion of numerous options. Sorry.
-

Scarlett O'Hara's curtain dress.
Carol Burnett can get you this. Cheap.
-
So I read through this thread again, and since the "no vehicle" rule has been shamelessly ignored, I would like the Urban Assault Vehicle from "Stripes", even though it was the worst part of that movie.
I will also take Bill Murray's letter jacket from the first part.

If we're going for a Stripes prop, I'd take the "Win a Dream Date with Ox" issue of Tiger Beat.

The Schwartz Ring from Spaceballs.
hmmm, which RV is more desirable .. the one from Spaceballs or the one from Breaking Bad?

This is one of the best Scoop threads in a long time. Kudos to all. So many good selections.
Sorry to be late to the party, so, from the dregs, I select Del's shower curtain rings from Planes, Trains and Automobiles (Del's sink-washed underwear would be a close second, and Del and Neal's post-fire rental car would be my selection in the automobile category).
