Christmas is getting closer and geese are getting fatter my thoughts turn to presents, food, Father Christmas and not enought time off work. Obviously the whole point of Christmas is the gifts...and spending times with loved ones...and the birth of some kid back in thay...but mainly it's all about the gifts.
As this is a site dedicated to films (with a bit of comic, music and random stuff thrown in just to keep you guessing) I started wondering what cool item of movie memorabilia would be great to get as a gift this Christmas. You know what I'm talking about. That one piece of magic from a film that you always wish was yours, not replicas, I'm talking about the actual prop from the film (I know, I know, the real prop will more than likely be a sketchy pile of bits that on screen look great but in real life aren't so hot, but you know what I mean) - a proton pack, Indy's Fedora and whip, the actual Maltese Falcon, any piece of melted alien nasty from The Thing, the Spinal Tap Amp that goes all the way to 11, one of Nic Cage's wigs, the Cerebro helmet, that weird table made out of a wagon wheel with a glass top that you see in When Harry Met Sally, Rosebud, any Ray Harryhausen model, Little Geek from the Abyss, John Wayne's spurs, Roddy Piper's sunglasses, you get the idea.
It's not as easy as you think to pick just one thing. However, I can say with great confidence that I would pick the Plymouth Fury from Christine...or maybe the (original) Time Machine...or the Dark Crystal...or the ambulance from Ice Cold in Alex...or Steve McQueen's baseball glove from the Great Escape...Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
If money was no object and you could have whatever prop, costume, vehicle, from any movie what would you pick? Go ahead and click on the comments below and let me know.
