5 Great Movie Props for your Home

We are quite sure that most of you will have either a favourite movie or a character from a movie, from those romantic comedies to the action packed super hero blockbusters. Movies have been around since 1888 and there is apparently a total of 500,000 to choose from the early day silents to black and whites, animations to colour and even 3D if you prefer.

The world’s earliest surviving motion-picture film, showing actual consecutive action is called Roundhay Garden Scene. It’s a short film directed by French inventor Louis Le Prince. While it’s just 2.11 seconds long, it is technically a movie – Released in 1888.Boyslife.org

Icons have been created and words adopted in to our daily vocabulary thanks to movies, don’t say that you have never quoted a line or two from a movie be it “May the force be with you” or ‘Here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten me in to“… Actors and actresses spread across many decades and many personalities, and being instantly recognisable such as Marilyn Monroe, Bruce Willis, Sean Connery, Charlie Chaplin, Julia Roberts and a very, very long list of others behind them.

Gone with the Wind—first released in 1939—is generally considered to be the most successful film, with Guinness World Records in 2014 estimating its adjusted global gross at $3.4 billion.Wikipedia.org
