What movies should Madonna have been in that she wasn't?

Pretty Woman, although I can’t deny that Julia was perfect.

Basic Instinct

Stone Pillow.

Boxing Helena

Gigli. Still woulda bombed and probably worse. But the talent would’ve matched the script.

The Color Purple.

Working Girl

Driving Miss Daisy. Jessica Tandy was too understated. Imagine woke pathological narcissist with a white savior complex

Chicago (as Velma)

Witness (as Harrison Ford's sister)

Showgirls *and* Striptease

Mama Mia

Today she could play Edie "The Egg Lady".

Big Titty Whores 3.

Misery as Annie Wilkes

The Burning Bed 💥

Chicago (Goldie Hawn and her were supposed to star in it at one point, and it would have been a heap better than the poorly cast mess that we got)

21 Violins before it became the lifetime movie quality Music of the Heart with Meryl.

Cleopatra

Thelma and louise. I think she would have been a great louise.

R19, who do you think would have been a great Thelma?

The lead in a snuff film.

The Greatest Story Ever Told, as a topless Mary Magdelene who fucks dogs.

R21 can’t stop laughing.

I’ll think back to this often

The Matrix

What Lies Beneath

The Hand That Rocks The Cradle

Cat woman in Batman would be a perfect role for her

Flashdance; Suspiria; The Black Swan; A Chorus Line; Chicago

One True Thing

Leonard Part 6

Batman Returns

Jeanne Dielman, Part II: Electric Boogaloo

Beloved

Nell

She should have appeared as Lisa in The Room

Ghost Dad

Casino

Dancer in The Dark

"What movies should Madonna have been in that she wasn't?"

None of them.

Don't try to fix something that isn't broken.

Forever Lulu

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Ocean's 8 or another Ocean's movie, A Bond movie. Great Gatsby, but produced in the 80s or 90s. Chicago and Matrix are definitely good suggestions as well. It's so hard to say because there are so many movies with obvious Madonna-inspired avatars. Maybe she should've replaced Bradley Cooper and have Star is Born be a lesbian fantasia with Gaga. Everything Everywhere All At Once, she could've popped into the IRS building and shove a butt plug up Jamie Lee Curtis' ass (Would make sense if you saw the movie). I wish she would be in the new Barbie movie, even just as a cameo. Or the star of a future A24 psychological thriller/social commentary movie.

Madonna in Wonderland

She was in a Bond movie, hon.

Selena

Hustlers

Out of Sight

Tank Girl

Gummo

Sophie’s Choice.

“The Big Chill” during the opening credits, being dressed for her wake. The acting extent and physical restraint required of the role would have perfectly matched her thespian capabilities.

Tales From The Crypt

The Lords of Salem

As the pile of shit in Turner and Hooch

R42 WHY IS THIS THE FIRST I'M HEARING ABOUT LINDA IN WONDERLAND??????

None. She’s a dead eyed psycho with no warmth or intelligence.

Any film that would allow her to do all that over the top, constant blinking she always did.

Some Like It Hot

The Color Purple

Trog

Harriet Tubman

Mommie Dearest

Sophie's Choice

None. She's a terrible actress. She's only good at parading around in costumes (which was why she was tolerable in "Evita").

Mulholland Drive as the horny trashy waitress at Winkie's.

None. She's a movie killer.

Jeanne Dielman 2: TikTok Boogaloo

r17 What changed from the original script of 21 violins to the final draft? was it somehow edgier?

Body Double, Something Wild

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Like the character, she's reversing in age right before our eyes!

Dawson's 50 Load Weekend

She would have been a fantastic Harriet Tubman

Cocoon.

The lead in the Elephant Man remake.

A mass murder mystery movie about the DL

Barnyard Follies

The 400 Blows

Bonnie And Clyde

The English Patient

Out of Africa

Dolores Claiborne

Her muscular arms would've been great with a sledgehammer in "Misery."

Total Recall

The alien with the three tits? ^^^

R79, Sharon Stone's role

Absolutely Fabulous movie. Should have never had a Kardashian. Even if she is a bit batshit, I’d think a movie like that Madge would be in on the joke. Or at least compliment Edina with self-induced crisis after self-induced crisis.

^French and Saunders tried to get Madonna to be on their show many times and she declined. I believe Jennifer wanted her to make a cameo on Ab Fab, and still she declined. Did you ever see the French and Saunders parody of Truth or Dare?

First Wives Club in the Goldie Hawn role, maybe. Madonna would've been only 40 years old, then, so maybe she was too young.

Goldie was perfect in the role, but I can see Madonna in it.

Weekend at Bernie's.

As Bernie obviously.

Unfortunately, Madonna can't act, and comedy is not her forte.

Shanghai Surprise II: Electric Boogaloo

Diabolique

Dangerous Minds
