Following from the Gilliam thread, this is a game I've played with friends. Basically, take a film, good, bad, failure whatever and nominate who you'd rather have had direct it.

So, as I've said before - Shyamalan's The Village - remade by Terry Gilliam. A Series of Unfortunate Events - Gilliam again. Signs - Mike Leigh, reset in England. Ghost Rider - Sam Raimi.

Alternatively, things that should be movies and who should direct them.

You get the idea :).
 
The Adventures of Karl Pilkington - Ron Howard (Spielberg producing, staring anyone but Hanks (but, let's face it, it would be called simply Karl and would star Hanks))

I don't think I'm playing right!
 
Just to be slightly contrarian (my cynical comment sparked Stu's idea) Vermilion Sands by Terry Gilliam as a portmanteau piece.
 
Someone give Alex Cox a decent budget at last and finally can we have a film of The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey? It's even more relevant now than it was in the 70s.
