Movie musings, a what-if game

[caramida]

rmjwell posted a brilliant idea on his journal, about what if X person had written Y book? For example, what if Miss Manners' Guide to Excrutiatingly Correct Behavior were written by Dorothy Parker? or what if The Handmaid's Tale had been written by Harlan Ellison?

Much madness ensued. It got me to thinking, what about movies? What if had Y directed Z? For starters, I'll provide a few, but I really want y'all to chime in with your own twisted ideas:

A Clockwork Orange, as directed by Rob Reiner
Cocoon, as directed by Clive Barker
My Dinner With Andre, as directed by Kevin Smith
Fiddler on the Roof, as directed by Mel Gibson
Schindler's List, as directed by Mel Brooks
V for Vendetta, as directed by Ron Howard
Amelie, as directed by the Wachowski Brothers

Ok, I've done enough damage. Now it's your turn.

(p.s. finally, a post worthy of the Dr. Tran icon!)

I really wanted to see The Da Vinci Code as written by Charlie Kaufman, but I'm sure he'd have done a great job as director, too. And if I may be both outre (because I'm the only person I know who didn't love it) and inappropriate (because anything involving John Waters is inapproriate), Bokeback Mountain would have been much better if John Waters had gotten his filthy hands on it.

Hm, what else? Citizen Kane as directed by Stanley Kubrick, maybe? Although it's already pretty freaking weird.
