An astronomy student & part time college radio DJ goes to record an interview at a nearby radio astronomy center & suddenly blacks out. He comes to in the broadcasting booth of the radio station, covered in blood, with his tape recorder plugged into the broadcast system. He is arrested, accused of breaking into the studio and killing everyone he ran into along the way. During questioning, the investigators play the tape for him -- he hears nothing, but they both suddenly stand up, glassy-eyed, grab the tape, and rush out of the room. The police station's PA light comes on and everything goes quiet. The student (our protagonist) leaves through the open door of the investigation room to find all the police officers trying to kill themselves by beating their heads against walls or desks, except for a cluster near the main exit who are fighting over the tape. He eventually figures out that the sound on the tape, although not consciously audible, contains a sonic memetic parasite that causes people to have an irresistable urge to reproduce it at all costs; those who hear it but are unable to reproduce it undergo so much stress that they kill themselves, while those who have already aided in its reproduction are left immune to it. He follows the trail of the tape by following news incidents until realizing that one of the currently infected plans to hijack a goodyear blimp and broadcast the tape over the superbowl. He sneaks on the blimp, hijacks the hijacker, and burns the tape in front of him, at which point the hijacker jumps off the blimp onto the middle of a bunch of cheerleaders. Title card: "Dead Air"

You've got an organ going there, no wonder the sound has so much body!

Speculative alternate history: The axis powers win WW2 in Eurasia, conquering all of it, before the simultaneous development of nuclear weapons by both sides brings about a tense contentious truce, similar to the Cold War, between the axis and the allies. Fascism eventually peters out several decades later similar to how communism did. Due to the lack of 40 years of cold war propaganda poisoning people against socisal welfare programs and so forth the United States is a significantly better place by the time it gets to now

A man invents time travel and travels a hundred years into the future only to find that earth has moved far in its orbit in that time and he dies in space without a suit.

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

One government in the multiverse has figured out how to bodyswap consciousness across universes. You can't just go, you have to have a compatible duplicate on the other side to switch with. They use this technology to swap out dangerous criminals for their goody-two-shoes counterparts. Our protagonist wakes up one day to find the world has subtly changed from the one he knows, but just thinks he's crazy until he is able to connect with others suffering from the Mandela effect.

In a world where demons exist, a government agency has to summon them en mass in order to properly quality-test experimental weapons for fighting them. Our protagonist is a lab tech in the demon lab, and we follow his daily routine as he trains an intern.

It is discovered that the accelerating expansion of the universe is due to the Exotic (Negative-Mass) Matter created as a byproduct of an alien race's perpetual motion technology

As an alteration of the above, it is the result of many races' perpetual motion machines. This is (also) the great filter. These races, paradoxially the only ones capable of faster than light travel, have no reason to travel beyond their homes because their resources are unlimited.

EDIT:
Parody of Inside-Out in which Disgust goes missing, and nothing bad happens as a result because, barring the end of the world and a retutn to pre-industrial levels of civilization, why would it

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

A guy goes back in time and kills Hitler. Without the backlash from the Holocaust eugenics and antisemitism never go out of fashion. The man's own time is transfigured into a brutal and repressive police state. He finds himself forced to go back and save Hitler to put things right.

[Prelate Diogenes Shandor]

A biopic about the prophet Abraham depicting him realistically, as a schizophrenic of the potentially dangerous variety trying to eke out an existence in the squalor at the dawn of civilization

Sleeping beauty as Aurora, the reluctantly slumbering yet fully conscious AI of our dreams.  Out expectation of her having to be rescued/awoken turns against the subtle and subconscious ways in which she trains us: to feel like autonomously providing her the kind of world she would require in order to rise again.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

Budget cuts force the historic housing register to fundraise in creative ways. One group comes up with the idea of retrofitting a building with a bloody history as a new-style haunted house attraction, with automation. However, the broke former theatre student handling the effects board would like to use this opportunity to get revenge upon the university officials he blames for his expulsion, and that's not even counting the actual ghosts.

A gameshow where the gimmick is that every prize given out is somehow tasteless or offensive (ie. things like a variety assortment of dildoes, a vintage Nazi parade car, a lifetime supply of those sugar-free gummi bears that give you diarrhea, an autographed copy of If I Did It Here's How It Happened by O.J.Simpson, a bong, a framed print of Goatse, cigarettes, a copy of The Anarchist's Cookbook, a travel vacation to visit Chairman Mao's tomb, "Male Enhancement" supplements, The Birth of A Nation on DVD and Blu-Ray, laxatives, Girls Gone Wild the complete series on DVD, signed copies of PIHKAL and TIHKAL, gift certificates for veal and foie gras at various five-star restaurants, and so forth)

EDIT:
Another idea:
A comedy about the Vietnam war. And I mean like a real comedy, not a comedy-drama. There's all these fucking movies about the Vietnam War and none of them are fucking comedies; the closest thing out there is goddamn Forrest Gump 

EDIT:
On a related note, I'd also like to see the Monty Python sketch about Worls War 2 where people aren't taking the war seriously expanded into a full length movie

EDIT:
Another idea:
A dystopian sci-fi where the dilemma from Button Button is the basis for the world's most popular gameshow
