Best Machine in a Movie
So. I'm watching Hellboy again and The machine at the beginning that Kroenen made to open the portal to the Ogdru Jahad (sp?) is ...AWESOME!
So I'm sitting there thinking of the design and fabrication of this prop and thought "I wonder what other people have been so impressed by other machines in other movies.".
So...
(scurries back to Hellboy)

I forgot about your user name! Damn! I knew you guys wouldn't let me down. What a Pandora's box.I wanted to add a screencap of Magneto's mutator machine from X-men, but you wouldn't believe how hard it to get a clean shot of that thing. There are no static frames. It is a very motion attuned sequence. That being said, I loved the Jack Kirby-ness of that machine.

Oh, come ON! CLEARLY the ultimate machine is the supercomputer thingy in Superman 3!
I was going to capture a shot of it...but I can't find the disk! The only one in the whole set that's missing! No idea where it is damn it! See? The computer is so damn bad it can reach out of the movie!
