Movies
Movies featuring a World's Largest Thing: Pee Wee's Big Adventure (Cabazon Dinosaurs), Michael (fake ball of twine, fake skillett, etc.), Vacation (great intro with postcards from everywhere...), Boys on the Side (Amado Arizona Longhorn skull), I'm sure there are more...
Not saying these are great movies, just feature a World's Largest...

World's Largest Things is in an amazingly ambivalent mood
I'm the creator and curator of the World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things Traveling Roadside Attraction and Museum...
I travel the country seeking out roadside attractions that bill themselves as World's Largest, photograph them, and make a World's Smallest Version of that 'thing'...
I'm up to over 80 World's Smallest Versions, making it the World's Largest Collection! Always adding more, on the road about 6 months out of the year...
Who I'd like to meet: The people responsible for making the backroads of the US an amazing interesting place, fellow travelers, and Steve Buscemi.
