If you can turn a manga/anime to a live movie which one would you choose?

Lately I have nothing better to do so I am going to ask you people a little question. If you can turn a manga/manwha/etc, into a movie would you do it.
The reason is that I have nothing better to do so I am going to write a script and submitted to see is it gets good news. So I want some ideas or stuff like that.
Oh and don't think of average to overrated stuff. Why because I want the underrated to be more known
So far I can only think of:
Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge
Watashitachi no Tamura-kun
Yunagi no machi; Sakura no kuni (although it is closely related to Grave of the Fireflies)
Undercurrent
Hatsukanezumi no Jikan
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Bus Hashiru
Wagahai wa Yome de Aru
and that's it
Thanks for the tip Crenshinibon. There is a minor detail I have to add and that is if it has other material to it(light novel, visual, etc) please help remind me of it incase I don't know of it

Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge has a live-action adaptation already...
My first instinct probably would have been for Solanin, but that's already in the works.
Outside of that, I think Hatsukanezumi no Jikan could make a good film, as well as Undercurrent and perhaps the first half of Yunagi no machi; Sakura no kuni.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

I know that NHCE already have a film but not for NA, though I haven't have a chance to watch it yet. And the recommend manga was great I will take them into watch

Rabuyan If they could actually find an actor willing play Kazufusa, it would be hilarious. Even if they screw it up it would be something to remember.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Adapting all the weird crap to live action would be a blast. A live action version of Chiri killing Itoshiki Nozomu alone would be priceless.

I've heard that the Lament of the Lamb film is terrible. 🙁 And no, I am not asking for a remake.

can it be a life action series/drama?
Yes okay then
DRAMAS
Skip Beat - I wish the production company would work out w/e their problems were 🙁 BecauseI love Ariel Lin and Skip Beat so I want see it made. >3>
Kimi ni Todoke - would make a very cute drama
MOVIES/SHORT DRAMA
Wagahai wa Yome de Aru - At least the first story and the third stories I'd like to see them expounded upon.
Utopia of Homosexuality - would make an interesting film but I'm sure there are already films like that. Ones with a flowy feel.

Paradise Kiss
It has an amazing plot and the fashion design would be lovely!
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Very deep, would do a good movie.
If at least one could capture the feeling of reading Sahara Mizu/Yumeka Sumomo into a movie it would be wonderful!

My choice would be Monster, but I heard that there is already a Hollywood version being made.

There is already a movie based on the novel, although I don't know if I want to watch it because it is one of those sad stories of which one reading/viewing is enough.

Ouran High School Host Club would make a good drama! But only if the actors were good... You have to be good to pull of Tamaki. 🤣

Kamen Rider Spirits!
It's full of gore and fantastic Rider Kick, but I think it will suck million dollars just to make entire scene 😢

Thanks for everyone's idea so far.
I am hoping to be able to do most of these
(Though don't be so sure)

It was. Abysmal, really. But that doesn't mean that another Toume Kei adaptation would have to turn out the same way >_>.
A couple of the titles up there, like Wagahai wa Yome de Aru, have some distinctly Japanese qualities to them (heck, the title itself is a reference to a Natsume Souseki novel that I suspect most of the readers here didn't catch) that may not transfer well to Western audiences. Just tread lightly, is all I'm saying.
Also, if you're really set on Tamura and NHCE (though, again, I don't think that you need to focus on material that's already adapted) you should probably work on getting your hands on the actual source material, the novels, rather than the manga adaptations which are cut a bit short.

Nothing really comes to mind... I would've said Solanin as well (it's the only Asano work that could possibly be pulled off with current cinematographic methods), but it's in the works already, as Cren pointed out.
Hmm.... Maybe Kamigami no Itadaki.... not really blockbuster material, but more like an art-house type of film.... shot in very grainy film and cross-processed.
Milk Closet might work, but I suspect the DVD will have to include a free bottle of ether to give viewers the full experience.
Azuma Hideo's Shissou Nikki would probably make a pretty good autobiographical comedy if done right.

Banana Fish as a movie would be cool but since it has a long storyline then a drama series would be good 😀

I think Vinland Saga would be really good...
