The War of 1812; specifically, the battles that led to the American annexation of Canada....
A properly funded film version of a tv drama from the 60s, THE OTHER MAN. It's about the corruption of a British officer serving in India in a world where Churchill died in an accident and a compromise peace was made in 1940.
Hmmm let's see:
Japs conquered and occupied Aust after WWII
total failure of Op OVERLORD
US victory during VW thru application of overwhelming force against PAVN and VC
invasion of Japan 1945-46- Op DOWNFALL

Revolutionary War
A revolutionary war picture of a war that lasted three years longer, that led to the final collapse of slavery as the Tories and Loyalists kept freeing each other's slaves.
Say, the European allies didn't get involved and all of North America got liberated, including Florida and Louisiana. A looser federation including Tory areas like New York City, Long Island, and the Canadas was the result.
Of course, that means that the Europeans wouldn't go through the Napoleonic wars. Lots of littler countries instead of a few big ones. Would have made Europe looser in some ways, more conservative in other.

1943 The Victory that Never Was by John Grigg is a fairly well researched speculation that could easily make an interesting TV documentary
The Dawn of a Thousand Suns a miniseries about a world were the soviets overran poland in 1921 and the Allies rearm the germans to fight them back. Ludendorff and hitler come to power in 1925 and WW2 is fought between Germany, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia against France, Italy, UK, Serbia, and Romania. The war ends in 1948 after 37 european cities have been nuked by either side.
I'm not sure of an exact scenario I'd want, but it would involve the USA being invaded. I don't know why; it would just look cool.
Maybe I can get some zepplins!

"The Battle of New York"
A drama about the great naval action of 1815, when the Royal Navy's ships of the line lead an invasion of New York, and the steam battery Demologos engages them.
Great sea battle scenes, some land combat from the invaders that get ashore.
The final scenes show New York Harbor, with 3 ships of the line flying Stars and Stripes over the Union Jack-and a yard in Britain, with an ugly ship with a steam engine being installed.

I'd adapt "Resurrection Day" and "1901" for the silver screen and do a 3-part miniseries version of "Fatherland" for the tube.
I would definitely turn the Philip K Dick novel "the man in the high castle" into a flick. To me it is a mystery why nobody has done this before, maybe it's a question of copyright etc?
Anywho, with the right set of actors, effects and soundtrack I'd think it would make a few bucks in the boxoffice
