I'm a fan of classic movies. I love The Thin Man, Rocky Horror Picture Show, What's Up, Doc?, and even pretty much every single one of The Pink Panthers. Even the ones where they go full James Bond and use lasers to disintegrate Inspector Dreyfus.
But I'm an outlier of my generation (millennials), and according to everything online, none of those younger than me care about those movies. Nor does either camp have the sort of foot-loose and fancy-free access to a buttload of money to purchase anything other than the basic necessities of life. Least of all, a prop from a movie that's 55 years our junior.
Yet, I've seen a handful of stories seemingly question why the Stars and Stripes helmet from the classic movie Easy Rider failed to elicit a single bid when it recently came up for auction. First off, the minimum reserve was set at $25,000. And secondly, who actually cares anymore?
