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.
Rambo, Duh.

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.
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.
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
He is often hired to be Jack Black, but he is actually quite a good actor.
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.
All of them.
Right? You'd be better off asking which movies wouldn't be better? That's a tricky question.
The Weird Al Movie. Haha jk Dan Radcliffe did a great job.
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.
“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.
If they remake Spy Hard like they did with Naked Gun, let him do the theme song and the lead role.
UHF.
That movie would be unwatchable with anyone else
American Psycho
Edit: I had almost forgotten about this: https://youtu.be/Fk15H6PjBis
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.
Fight Club as the narrator. Easy to imagine him snuggling Bob's giant tits.
Eyes Wide Shut
Obviously Nicole Kidman’s role.
highlander 2. There's no way it could be worse.
Backdoor Sluts 9
Evil Dead 2. The original.
Instead of a chain saw, he replaces his hand with a floppy accordion and smashes the tree demon on the head with it.
Muppet Treasure Island, but only if he played it straight like he was actually Kermit
All of Daniel Radcliffe's movies. Guns Akimbo would be great. Also Weird Al at a magic school for kids sounds fun.
Saving Private Ryan. Fuck tom hanks.
