A Great Gift Idea For Movie Lovers - Movie Props For Sale

This is a GREAT site for finding all kinds of genuine movie memorabilia as well as your not-so-typical replicas.

Examples of replicas include: a full scale 'rosebox' shotgun from Terminator 2, the alien egg from Aliens (complete with slimy strands attached to it!) and an incredibly detailed model of the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

However, the vast majority of merchandise is one of a kind movie stuff. It ranges from quite affordable mementos such as actual production call sheets (instructions to actors for a particular scene) to truly one-of-a-kind props such as the strange "Castor Troy Prison Boot" worn by Nicholas Cage in Face/Off.

This is from their description of the boot: "made from aluminum with black rubber sections, a moving hydraulic on the right hand side and a small dual LED light on the back … It has 'Cage' and 'CR-1' written inside and …".

If that is too exotic, how about a t-shirt worn by Tom Hanks in Castaway?

You get the idea. LOTS of possibilities.

This site has a very impressive selection of merchandise that is nicely organized and always changing. You can browse by category (props, wardrobe etc), search by movie (all the merchandise associated with a specific movie regardless of category) or do custom searches.

If you're looking for an inspired gift idea for someone who loves movies, just search for their favorite movies and see what is available!

Imagine the look upon their face when they open up your gift and see that it is a prop that was actually used in one of their favorite movies!

This store is based in London but ships worldwide.
