All of them.
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.
That’s correct!!! And now for your prize…
YOU GET TO DRINK FROM THE FIRE HOSE!!!
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
Because Daniel Radcliffe does an excellent job
Rambo, Duh.
Indiana Jones.
Melania
Holy hell I would watch the hell out of that. Bonus points if they redo the whole thing scene by scene.
Trump: “Did you watch it?”
Al: “What, do you think I’m an IDIOT?? I’ll just watch it on the news.”
Lot of interesting answers here, but for me, the obvious choice is “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”
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
Alternatively he and Jack Black could bring back the Blues Brothers
You have my full attention.
We have a quorum. Calling warner brothers
Jack Black can only play Jack Black, which is not a Blues Brother. The Blues Brothers never lose their cool for one thing, Jack Black is never not over the top.
He is often hired to be Jack Black, but he is actually quite a good actor.
Jack Black has been Flanderized
I saw him in an early episode of X Files and he actually had range, I miss that jack black
I was more focused on him as a big guy that is athletic and can sing… but you’re probably right.
We’re still workshopping here, lol.
The Weird Al Movie. Haha jk Dan Radcliffe did a great job.
I was just going to comment that, ironically, “Weird” isn’t a valid answer.
yes
Being John Malkovich.
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.
Do it as an alternate cut of Weird: The Al Yankovic_Story where he also plays other characters including Madonna.
Idk about better but I need a LOTR trilogy like this.
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.
Holy shit. I never knew I needed this until now.
“I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you!”
scene fucking EXPLODES into a high tempo musical number
But then replace EVERY actor with Weird Al.
Also the Balrog and the Shelob.
If they remake Spy Hard like they did with Naked Gun, let him do the theme song and the lead role.
American Psycho
Edit: I had almost forgotten about this: https://youtu.be/Fk15H6PjBis
That’s amazing.
UHF.
That movie would be unwatchable with anyone else
Also the music video, Weezer - Undone
are we talking 80s dorky al or today’s “can pull off serious” al?
if it’s the former, death wish 3.
if it’s the latter, mandy.
Mandy and Melania are my top pics so far
Titanic with Al as Rose.
