What are your favorite movies? If you could own a prop from any of them, what would you choose?
Would it be the door frame that Rose floats on at the end of “Titanic”? The whip from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”? An ax from “The Shining”?
All of these were recently sold at an auction. The door frame, made of balsa wood and pictured above, brought in $718,750.
How much do you think the prop you’ve chosen might be worth if it were to go up for auction? Why?
