Blazing Saddles for sure. Would be my first NIB pin! I'd take a really good James Bond machine though - something that captures the entire (nearly) 60 years of bond. I can think of a perfect use for a shaker motor (not stirred!).

Trying to figure out how a The Office (not Office Space!) could be implemented lol.

Dungeons and Dragons theme. Maybe one of the established worlds such as Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance. Or, just a generic AD&D adventure. There are some popular ongoing games running on Youtube. For one of them, the players and DM are all professional voice actors! They would be great to bring on board.
Ok, back to daydreaming...
My list of take my money now themes:
Inception- need a keith Elwin touch for some inverted mechanics
Princess Bride- make it like MM but with a little more fun whimsical feel and the one liners have to be great.
Nintendo themed, Zelda/Mario/Metroid heavy with supporting characters.
Greatest showman-give me a circus theme a bit like Houdini had a love child with funhouse
Matrix-just dont screw it up
Top Gun-only with music being spot on and some legitimate metal plane models in there
Alice in Wonderland (neon colors very trippy with some black light multiball)
Greek Mythology (i know the Olympus one is coming from a company)
Justice league comic version-AIQ similar with a K.E and Z.Y touch
I would like to see Stern complete the trifecta of pinball themes by releasing a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror theme pin. Sell it around Halloween like they did with EHOH and it would sell like hot cakes.
Can you imagine all of the cool call outs and clips they could use from over 20 years of the Halloween specials?
Get Smart! (original TV series)
Just think of all the playfield toys (phone booth scoop, cone of silence, shoe phone) and sound bytes (“Sorry about that, Chief,” “Missed it by that much,” “Would you believe...”)
The ruleset could involve CONTROL vs. KAOS. I’d really like to see that theme.
Auto Purchase
1) Harry Potter
2) Pulp Fiction
Intriguing
1) Jaws
2) Beetlejuice
3) Mario Kart
4) Beastie Boys
5) Blade Runner
6) Matrix
7) Tombstone
That could actually happen? Judas Priest, Bill and Ted, or a new Back to the Future.
That would likely never happen beyond a homebrew? Mobile Suit Gundam. Strictly the original 70's series to keep things focused.
A space themed pin using assets/ video clips from those old 40’s-50’s sci fi movies. Backglass, playfield and cab artwork from the EM wood rail era. The layout, playfield mechs, and ramps are current / up to date.
Köln
Quoted from Budman:The original Jonny Quest cartoon. Man, that show had a great villain , Dr Zin, cool gadgets like rocket backpacks, laser guns etc. and the music was epic. There wasn’t a kid back then who didn’t want to be Jonny.
Venture Brothers.....especially now that it sounds like it is gone without the teased closure of a Season 8 finale.
Back to the Future Trilogy would be my absolute favorite. Especially if done by JJP.
It might never get made but I thought that about my holy grail theme (Batman 66) too. 
James Bond and Toy Story are the only other themes likely to interest me. I might be interested in Blazing Saddles but I can’t see that ever made.
Quoted from MatiMonkey:2) Pulp Fiction
There’s some rumors that Mark Richie is working on a Pulp Fiction at Chicago Gaming.
Would love to see Stern do a "Shaw Brothers" pin. They would have so many awesome clips to pick from. Those 70's-80's kung fu films are so original and the fight scenes NEVER get old. Many of these are on Netflix now too giving these classics a resurgence. I would even settle for a limited retheme.
il_570xN.1382168439_5qg1 (resized).jpgQuoted from Gorgar666:...if it had to be a rap Pin?...Beastie Boys...Would sale the best...IMO
Beastie Boys would be insane
Dungeons & Dragons 1980s cartoon - done in the fashion of Batman 66 with all the clips from the actual show.
G.I Joe - same format with all the original clips.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (shout out to the homebrew), bonus points if its done with comic art on the cabinet and playfield, and show animations and callouts
Harry Potter, moving ramps and hidden passageways and magnets abound
Into the Spiderverse
Anything Nintendo themed and full sized
Quoted from phalcon_2600:G.I Joe - same format with all the original clips.
GI Joe would be amazing. It’s kind of like the new Avengers. Assemble a team, battle Cobra. Plus, it has a huge ‘80s nostalgia factor. I’d definitely be in on a GI Joe pin, but I doubt it will ever be made given the war theme.
