We should expand this thread and let it live like the crosstime sweeper, instead of letting it die like the alternate video games thread. I suggest that we hold nominations for the best proposed movies in this thread a few weeks from now.

We should try to standardize things a bit, like label the films’ genre. However, I don’t know if everyone is able to suggest alternate actors and actresses (I can’t do anything like that).

India Johnny and the Raiders of the Lost Ark: (ADVENTURE) The box-office hit motion picture about archaeologist and adventurer India Johnny’s search for the Anti-Reich Knight, a mythical weapon that has powers to fight Hitler’s hordes. Accompanied by his Sufi sidekick, Hajj, Johnny is in a race against the neo-colonialist pig-dog British aggressors, who seek to destroy the Nazis so they could retake India and invade the East. Along the way they fight SS agents, giant monsters, magical creatures, find love, and do a musical dance number.
Directed by Inoshiro Honda (Mothra) and Ramesh Sippy (Coolie). Produced by East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Studios, an Osaka-Bollywood Collaboration.

India Johnny and the Temple of Doom: (ADVENTURE) Box-office hit motion picture in which adventurer India Johnny searches for an ancient stone and discovers an evil cult that employs children as slave laborers in a mine. Johnny, a night club singer named Jessie, and a 12-year-old boy named Benji help a village regain possession of the stone and all of their children. In order to do so, they bravely enter the cult’s fortress and face death numerous times at the hands of the Nazis. Amazing filmwork makes Okinawa look exactly like the German countryside.

India Johnny and the Last Crusade: (ADVENTURE) This time, Johnny rejoins his manservant Hajj and embark on a quest to find his lost father, and prevent a mad Italian general from resurrecting a frozen army of vicious medieval warriors.
Produced by Pan Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Studios

Sleepless in Seattle: (THRILLER) An in-depth portrayal of the insomniac plague that resulted in over eighty deaths in Washington State of 1977.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest: (WAR) Story about Chuck Yeager’s daring flight in the erratic XY-23 Columbia during Operation Downfall over a Japanese experimentation camp on the insane, as well as the story of an American POW held captive there.

Hunt for Red October: (HORROR) A dramatized story about Chicago police detective Monk Friday and his search for the city’s Halloweentime’s worst serial killer.

Crimson Tide: (ADVENTURE) An alternate history action-adventure based in a United States that was flooded in the Great Depression, leading to the destruction of the nation’s political and transportation infrastructures. With the loss of railroads, the breakaway states of the former Union are forced to use submersibles and bathyspheres, fighting both sea pirates and each other.

Armageddon: The Documentary.
