I've just downloaded my Twitter archive, and it makes for some really interesting and geeky stats!
The first tweet that someone liked was this one, back in December 2009, liked by @Retrophile.
Thanks Mike!

This car is from a movie that wasn’t that well received, but most have heard of.
It’s effects however we’re pretty decent for the the time, and visually has some very iconic moments.
Who knows where this car is from?

This is a model of a spaceship that is part of a massive franchise.
The series has 9 movies across 3 reboots and this ship played a pivotal role in the original.
Who knows the name of the franchise?
And the name of the ship?
