So many things I thought of from this movie. I think half my draft could've come from this one film. Went with the one which I liked the best, not necessarily the best prop.
Sleek. Classic. Bad-ass.
Plus, as we find out later, it allows you to take the boss for a ride out to the country.
As none of theses enhancements are magical in any way, upon delivery I expect them all to be installed and fully functional.
Prop: James Bond's 1964 Astin Martin DB5 Silver Birch Movies: Goldfinger, Skyfall

Yes, you can have your little foreign cars, but I want to get inside of...
There's a more famous watch in a more famous Ozu movie, given to a widowed 30something woman by her father-in-law as a symbol that it's time to move on with her life, but that was a woman's watch, and besides, this one means more to me right now.
The film: Early Spring
Sugiyama takes off his watch and holds it in his hands in the final scene, while he walks over to the window and looks outside. There's a train in the distance. I don't want to give away too much of the ending, but there's a conversation about how two or three years in exile will pass by quickly. That may or may not be true, but it's a beautiful scene.
My picks: Green Destiny Indy's Fedora Arigatō-san's Bus in Mr. Thank You Coca-Cola Sign in Late Spring Johnny Cash's Guitar R2-D2 Chessboard vs. Death Sugiyama's Watch
This may be the most obscure pick in the draft, since it's only part of the mise-en-scene.
Watch? I'm good with my Casio. What I want is a Bun-Bun!

Movie: Ikiru
Prop: Toy Rabbit
You need to stop whatever it is you are doing and go watch Ikiru so you can stop throwing your life away. Now.
Seems like it'd be a nice piece of art in the corner of my house.
My final list:
****
Blade Runner unicorn origami
Oz Certificate of Death
Local Hero phone booth
Man Who Would Be King crown
Amelie gnome
Python Grenade
Anchorman Sex Panther
Chaplin fork dance
Naked Lunch Anus Bug
The Fly telepod
It seems like every movie memorabilia collection should have a sword, right. Lots to chose from though. I went back and forth on this one, but decided that a mystical ancient sword might be the best.
Ruby Slippers from the Wizard of Oz
Red Ryder BB Gun from A Christmas Story
Clock from Groundhog Day
Amp from This is Spinal Tap
Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey
Rosebud from Citizen Kane
Box of Chocolates from Forrest Gump
Rod and Reel from Jaws
Excalibur from Excalibur
Ford Interceptor from Mad Max
Since it seems to be a free for all I can presumably now kick back in with the enormous fat roasting animal from the end of apocalypse now. Or the dead cow if you don’t like Brando

I was so torn between the indy jacket and tylers and I was really close to taking duke's treasure filled suitcase but those days are behind me heh.
I was also really close to taking either the big beautiful red convertible from fear and loathing or elenore the gorgeous mustang from gone in 60 seconds.

The cars I strongly considered were the Dodge Charger for Vanishing Point, The Deathmoblie from Animal House and the Bluesmobile from The Blue Brothers
Tuco's Gun - From The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. What makes this so great is that the "prop" is chosen and put together by Tuco himself as part of movie. It couldn't have been done better:
