Items that appeared in movies that were sold at stratospheric prices

There are props from some films that have remained in history and in the hearts of fans. And some of these fans come to spend crazy amounts just to make them their own.

Many of the objects used in the films, in fact, are auctioned and manage to reach very high figures. The more the film and the object are cult, the more fans (and wealthy) are willing to spend to win them.

Some examples? Aston Martin DB5 of James Bond that was purchased at auction for $ 4.6 million or the iconic white dress that Marilyn Monroe wears in the famous scene of "The Seven Year Itch".
