If you had an unlimited budget and could make one movie, what would it be? Who would direct, star, etc?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Michael Bay directs. Mel stars as Charles XII in "Rysskampen".

It would be the Honor Harrington series, or the Mote in God's Eye. 

I will leave it to the people more conversant in current movie stars to cast the flicks.

Never read the Honor Harrington series.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Alan Turing: The Hormone Years. James Cameron directs Megan Fox (as Turing) and Edward Norton (as the man he loved) in a tight psychological drama that will have you question what you thought you knew about life, love, and what it means to be human.

Heck, I'd direct and star in it myself.

Not sure what it would be, but I'd probably write the screenplay, too.

It would be hardcore porn movie with convincing storyline and top Hollywood stars.

A film set in a science fictiony alternate world war one with sky dreadnoughts blasting the poo out of each other.

A film guaranteed to make lots of moolah. I'm a hypothetical sellout.

Better be "The Mote in God's Eye"; the opening specifies you can only make one movie. I'd watch a movie based on "Mote" anyway.

Myself? I'd be tempted by the idea of making an "as historically accurate as possible" film about Caesar's conquest of Gaul and all the political shenanigans going on back in Rome during that decade. The concluding scene, of course, would be Caesar standing on the banks of the Rubicon watching the first Legionary step onto the bridge. Haven't decided whether or not to go with the classic "The Die is Cast" (Latin) or reword it slightly (as one eyewitness actually says he quoted in Greek at this point, not Latin.)

The film would need to be at least four or five hours long, of course...but so what? Battles, Politics, Romance, Betrayal, Murder - I think it'd be great.

Harald Hardrada's Saga.

Just for kicks, I'd let a friend of mine direct, and it would star Jean Claude van Damme as young Harald and Bruce Willis as old Harald.
Harold Godwinson would be played by Mel Gibson. I'd make sure to give Idris Elba a part too. Maybe as St. Olav.
