I have a portrait used in a South African movie and my one film mentors personal camera. :smile:
I have stills from Flash Gordon & The Warriors signed by the cast. I've also got some from the Star Wars prequels that I was given by someone who either hated me or didn't know any better.
I have 1 period still from the lost Bela Lugosi film LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS (195?)

The film consisted of clips of some of his old films. Also he narrated it.

Oy 😳😆😆😆😆😆🐢
I "inherited" a life-sized cardboard Jar-Jar cut-out from one of my old theaters... eventually gave it away. I still have a more-than-life-sized cardboard Borat, however.
OH! I forgot!
I bought this Carroll Borland autograph about 15 years ago. Clay Wilson? He's a comic book artist, I believe. Unless there's another Clay Wilson I don't know about, which I reckon is possible. She played Luna in the film MARK OF THE VAMPIRE (1935) with Bela Lugosi.
I have it in a picture frame, but I took it out so I could scan it.

^ No- it's and obsucre actress named Anna Hope.
Two of those plastic signs they used to put above the doors in movie theaters; one for "Inkheart", one for "Ice Age 3".

Some of my stuff.

There are other bits and pieces throughout the house.
I have a lot of promotional items from Netflix movies. When they first got into prestige releases, they sent out all kinds of swag to anyone who might vote in any kind of critics polls. A bunch of coffee table books, T-shirts, sweatshirts, baseball caps, and other crap. They sent a pocket flask and pony shot glasses to promote "Power of the Dog," which was cool.
I also have this original Citizen Kane promotional poster I found in my grandma's belongings when she died. Some sources say these are from the original release, some say they are from a 1961 rerelease. These are somewhat rare (there are others with a different color scheme that are much more common) and could be worth hundreds of dollars in good condition. Unfortunately, this one is folded, so it's probably only worth $50, at least according to one Ebay seller. Think I'll keep it. It hangs over my TV set.

Screen used, I don't own anything. I did bid on a prop knife from Blair Witch 2 on eBay a while back. I wanted to use it as a prop, and it actually went for less than buying a high quality prop new. But I still got outbid. I also bid on a screen used sweater from Pinhead in the Puppet Master films, but it went for too much.
Promotional memorabilia... I own some crap from Radioactive Dreams. I was collecting stuff from it for a while. I don't have a picture of them, but it includes promotional lobby stills, an autographed Dudikoff card, a copy of the script, the special edition of the soundtrack on vinyl (with a booklet), a sealed sleep mask (some kind of giveaway item), a VHS standee box, a theatrical poster, the UK VHS, American VHS, American Beta, the American LaserDisc, and a couple other things.
There was a shooting script on eBay a few weeks ago that I considered, but it was too expensive - it was all marked up, so pretty interesting.

want.
I have an F13 t shirt... once I was wearing it out and some guy I walked past on the pavement started making the "ch...ch...ch...ch... sh...sh....sh..." noise . (at least I think he did? it was weird)
other memrobilia: a THE BEAST MUST DIE promo poster, and a signed photo of Tom Chadbon who played Paul in it... think that's everything.
wouldn't mind owning the briefcase from PULP FICTION.
I have a large 1998 Godzilla, which stands guard at my door. 😊🦖
I got lotsa junk, but none of it is actual movie memorabilia s**t. Like Dracula's ring or Jayne Mansfield's panties, but I guess if it's random stuff about movies, a got shelves and closets full of junk.

And that's just 3 shelves. It has been getting stupid a looong time ago.
Those photos were taken 4 years ago. It's gotten worse.

I think you mean it's gotten
better. Good stuff.
My good lady gave me this today. (https://i.imgur.com/w6DtVKu.jpeg)
Always felt that The Fog was unfairly overshadowed by The Thing, but it still remains one of Carpenters great movies. Shame that In The Mouth of Madness marked his last really great films. I'd love to see one more of that standard from the guy.

While I part ways w/ you on the quality and legacy of THE FOG - that's an awesome poster worthy of a THING-caliber movie!
When she saw how much I loved that poster, Kristi ordered me one for The Thing. They'll be on either side of the man cave door.
Owning a movie memorabilia must feel like having a little cinema history at home. A portrait from a South African movie and your mentor's camera? That's so cool!
I've got a few bits and bobs myself. My prized possession is an old prop from a sci-fi movie. It's not famous, but I love having something used in a film. It's like holding onto a piece of the magic that goes into making movies.
I was checking out https://wealthofgeeks.com/movies-out-now/ to see what new movies are coming. It got me thinking about how every little item in a film has its own story and history, just like the stuff we have. It's incredible to think about these items' journey, from being used on set to ending up in our homes.
Do you display your memorabilia? I've got mine on a shelf where I can see it daily. It's a great conversation starter, and it always brings back memories of the movie and the fun times I've had watching it.

My mentor David Millin was the first South African filmmaker to be awarded the ASC (the first of four) and his daughters gifted me his personal still camera. 😊😊🎥🎬
The portrait was used in the very controversial film DIE KANDIDAAT [THE CANDIDATE] which gave the apartheid government one of these 🖕: how it wasn't banned, I have no idea. 😳
I just ordered a leather bound replica of the Tobin Spirit guide from Ghostbusters.
