The hover-board from “Back to
the Future”
The concept of a floating skateboard was so cool, real world scientists are working on developing them. Even though 2015 is here and we’re not flying around on air yet, we can still dream of the day when we will be.
Universal remote from “Click”
In this forgotten Adam Sandler movie, Sandler discovers a universal remote that literally controls his universe. He can pause, rewind and fast forward his life with one magical gadget. It’s the dream of every college student.
The dream device from “Inception”
In dreams, you can do whatever you want. The opportunity to go into those dreams is too addicting to pass up. With this apparatus, a dream is, well, still a dream. But it’s much closer to reality if you have one.
Anything from “Harry Potter’
The “Harry Potter” franchise has given us so many great magical gizmos that choosing just one is impossible. Get stuff done with a time-turner, fly around on a Firebolt or indulge on anything from Honeydukes. The sky’s the limit and millions of readers and viewers are still drooling over the possibilities to this day.
Neuralyzer from “Men In Black”
This pocket sized gizmo erases the selected memories of whoever is on the wrong side of the bulb. At first, it’s just a good tool for the MIB, but when thinking about it, people could erase awkward moments on a date in a flash. Just always pack a pair of Ray-Bans.
Personal robot from any robot movie ever made
People love robots, and it shows in Hollywood. Whether a depressed android from “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” or a shape-shifting Autobot from “Transformers,” robo-nuts have endless options.
Iron Man suit
Of course, if you don’t want a robot to have all the fun, don one of the many Tony Stark models and fly around, punch through walls and take on the world. The suit is everything a billionaire wants and everything a superhero needs.
