Ok, you've got 200 million dollars for a budget and free reign creatively, what film do you make? Is it an adaptation or an original film?
The only limits are
>You must release it in theaters so no porn
>You can't run off with any money or burly Hollywood accountants will track you down and perforate you with rusty hooks.
>You don't have to spend the maximum on the film, but anything not spent of the 200M is returned.

Adapt Blood Meridian. No soundtrack. On film. Maybe black and white. 7 hours long. Will Sasso as the judge.
Make a whole series of low budget, comfy, screwball and situational comedies for the masses and trad families.
princess mononoke live action adaptation!
A old timey style western but all the characters are played by lolis. It'd be about an aging gunfighter hired by a back east lady to find her kidnapped sister. Its like a road trip picture, they meet all sorts of wacky characters along the way. The leads romance and there's kissing and there's full nudity but just during swimming and the crossdressing scene. But twist ending is the sister wasn't kidnapped at all she eloped so the hero punches out the manipulative cunt and leaves.
I don't direct because you know I'm not a film director, but I hire a top tier director and writer to remake Manos The Hands of Fate, relatively faithfully and not just a new film with the name, and see if they can make an actually good film out of it. Incredibly high quality production, cinematography, casting, score, the works, but still faithful to the basic story/structure of the original piece of shit.
I won't need the 200 obviously, I imagine the absolute max that would cost is 50 million, with a lot of lavish location shoots and sets or big name actors, but even then you'd be pushing it.
