OK, so I came across yet another shi*ty list...
http://blogs.usatoday.com/popcandy/2007/08/talk-back-what-.html
("the most awesome movie props")

Are you poo pooin kidding me?! Andie's dress from Pretty in Pink?! :huh:

Anyways...here are the cool-ass props I would want for my basement bar (if I didn't live in Florida, and actually still had a basement that is).


The Callaghan Top Ten Movie Props Of All Time

#1 Sam's Piano from Casablanca
...Play it, Sam...play "As Time Goes By".

#2 Vader's duds from Star Wars
The lone costume prop on the list...but
what the hey...it's Darth poo pooing Vader

#3 The Ark of the Covenant from Raiders
So I could say, "Don't look at it. Shut your
eyes, Marion, and don't look at it, no matter
what happens..."
at parties.

#4 "Rosebud" from Citizen Kane
I will need to put up a "WARNING: SPOILERS"
sign next to it, though

"...the stuff that dreams are made of."

#9 The Flux Capacitor from Back to the Future
This prop I would actually have installed

Can characters be counted as props?

Anyways I'm going to go with:

Harry Callaghan's magnum
Lightsaber (of course)
Freddy K's glove
Squeeks dildo helmet from Orgazmo
 
I wanted the Captain's chair from the Star Trek series. I was sort of excited when it went on auction... for about 3 seconds. That is when I discovered the opening bid was waaaaay more than I could afford.
 
jpeck; you know, it's not really about the costume.


I don't have a top ten, but here are some that would be really cool to have...

HolyGrail189.jpg

"3 sir" "..3"

Then again, people have been looking for this one for ages.

FordWantsWhipornoIndianaJones.jpg

Yes, THE whip.

01s.jpg

The whole model.

300px-007Scaramanga.jpg

Either piece would rock. (ZFarms, that's not the PPK in your picture!)

atac.jpg

They didn't really throw it off a cliff did they?


Cars:
061127010.1.jpg

Yes, totally

D3DF9BF282329C1E7F457AB1661FF.jpg

This one almost trumps the DB5




There are SO many cool props out there though. Far too many to list in one post (or to remrber for that matter.)

The Monolith

Smack dab in the middle of my living room.

(I have a feeling my wife might not go with me on this one)

I would do it anyway. Just say it's "feng shui"

Here's my list, in no particular order:

The Dude's Rug
lebowski_rug_1.jpg


Because it would really tie the room together.

Jack's Axe

Oh yes.

Marsellus Wallace's Briefcase
s-jules-pulp-fiction.jpg


So I can finally see what's in the damn thing.

The baby from Eraserhead
eraserhead.jpg


Because it would be cool, and so I can figure out what it actually is (hopefully NOT a cow fetus).

Norman Bates' Mother
mother.jpg


If I had a basement, I would prop that up in a chair inside of it.

The Shape's Mask
4222.jpg


The original one from the first film (worn by Nick Castle) that is.
 
I actually read the list and realized the rug is on it. And I thought I was being original. Well, I'd like to think my caption was more clever.
 
Johnny 5 would be awsome, as would the boulder (where would you put that?).

Keeping with Indiana Jones...

Bonus: BTS Pic :)

And robots...
Terminator.jpg





Jacks axe is definatly on my list too. :)

The Natural is on right now.

Not too shaby, even for a replicant....and probably less nuts than the real Sean Young.

The Fides. You know that bike is around somewhere.

The watch Mickey Rourke wears in The Pope of Greenwich Village. This one resembles it.
