Iconic Movie Memorabilia Heads to the Auction Block

If you're still looking for the perfect holiday present for the movie lovers in your life, the Treasures from the Dream Factory auction put on by TCM and Bonhams Auction House is here to help. 

The auction, which kicked off November 23 is chock full of impressive bits of Hollywood history, including one particularly impressive relic — one of the iconic blue and white gingham dresses Judy Garland wore while filming the classic film The Wizard of Oz.

The dress (above) won't come cheap though, as it's expected to bring in between $$$,000 and $.2 million, so interested buyers should be prepared to fork over some serious cash to bring home a little piece of Oz.

Also set to be auctioned off are a series of photos of a young Walt Disney, several of Natalie Wood's scripts, costumes worn by Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump and the infamous sled from Citizen Kane.

Take a look at a few of the items for sale in the photos below, and check out the entire catalog here.

Look out for these tricky things that might be negatively impacting the quality of your shut-eye. 1. Your Technology That means smartphones, tablets, TVs, you name it. The artificial light that's emitted from these devices results in less melatonin production in the brain (the chemical that helps you fall asleep and regulates your sleep cycle), meaning you'll have a harder time dozing off. 2. Your Heavy (or Electric) Blankets Even though a warm and cozy setup might sound like something that would help you sleep better, higher body temperatures disrupt sleep — so you're better off sticking with a lightweight sheet or bedspread. 3. Your Wall Color If your bedroom walls are...
