That would be interesting. Because he'd play it completely straight. You'd be expecting the joke, but, nope, it's just that Weird Al is Aragorn.

If they remake Spy Hard like they did with Naked Gun, let him do the theme song and the lead role.

Right? You'd be better off asking which movies wouldn't be better? That's a tricky question.

UHF is the only movie that wouldn't be better with Weird Al as the lead, because it's already there.

Lot of interesting answers here, but for me, the obvious choice is "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

No, he plays the masks.

Obviously the, ahem, climax is an orgy of Weird Als.

Holy hell I would watch the hell out of that. Bonus points if they redo the whole thing scene by scene.

I want a movie based on the craziest shit Al has done in his life but told in a BJM parody called Being Al Yankovic.

On their second channel, the Epic Rap Battles guys post reaction videos to suggested matchups. One of their dream matchups is Willy Wonka vs Pablo Escobar with Weird Al playing Wonka but they're afraid he'd say no because of the gratuitous drug references that would be involved.

I would love to see him as a John Wick style character.

Alternatively he and Jack Black could bring back the Blues Brothers
