Crazy movie ideas!

Hi, everyone! I'm posting this here because it compasses all generations.
What is the crazy movie idea you have that, in all probability, would never be greenlit? It can look like badfic, good fiction, or something else entirely.

My vote is...
"The Sound of Music: The Klingon Edition." I'd love to hear Christopher Plummer singing a Klingon version of Edelweiss. It's a little nebulous, but I picture this version as a clash of programs on the holodeck. We all remember that two-parter in Voyager where we did have Klingons versus Nazis...
If we can do Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, why not this?

Now, let's hear your crazy ideas!
 
Voyager's Wizard of Oz:

The Cowardly and brainless Neelix and the heartless Tuvok accompanied by Janeway who's far from home go on a quest to find a powerful alien who'll solve all their problems.

Seska is the wicked witch and she wants to get Janeway's little dog too, IE Neelix.

"Kazons, Vidiians and Clowns! Oh my!"

I want a Star Trek Christmas movie, with tinsel strung up around the consoles and a tree by the turbolift doors. And they all make Spock wear a Santa hat. And then they beam down to a snowy winter wonderland.
 
Star Trek: The Ten Commandments

A highly respected and influential character questions the ways of her people. She gets cast out from society and eventually her journey leads her to a spiritual place where she hears the call of God. She begins her dangerous trek to the remote place where God dwells...

No, this would never work as a Star Trek story.
 
TNG should've had a movie where it combined forces with ALL of the other 24th Century STAR TREKs, to combat some incredible foe. Tell me that wouldn't have set the entertainment world afire!

They do that, to some extent, in the video game Star Trek: Encounters.

Brent Spiner's plan for the next movie after Nemesis was a "Justice League of Trek" using time travel to unite all the crews (or rather, those alive and willing) to combat a group of foes.

If parallel universes exist, there's probably one out there where that actually happened.
 
Voyager Home Alone. Naomi gets left behind when the entire crew goes down to the planet for a shore leave. We see wacky antics as Seska and Culluh shows up and try to steal the ship.
That's brilliant. TNGs "Rascals" was sort of that, but the kids needed better traps. I wonder what a phaser on stun to a Ferengi's crotch would do...?
 
"The Bajoran, The cardie and the Klingon":

The story of a war treasure buried in some tomb in some alien cemetery on some distant planet that these three are trying to get.
 
Star Trek: The Maintenance Crew

A movie entirely about performing routine maintenance and diagnostics on the engines and other ship's systems. The ship is on deep space scientific research, far from any kind of intelligent life. Mostly they survey the chemical composition and density of nebulae. The maintenance crew is really, really competent, so the systems never malfunction. Every flaw or strange unidentified subroutine that could ever become dangerous is caught and fixed well in advance of becoming a problem. Whenever they see a strange abandoned ship or probe, they do thorough scans of it and determine without fail whether or not there is any risk of approaching it.

Wasn't crazy about the Naomi character, but that actually sounds entertaining. I could also see it happening since the entire crew taking shore leave and leaving a young child all alone on the ship is exactly the kind of irresponsible thing they were always doing on Voyager.
