I have thought about Space Mountain as a major part in a broader movie based on Tomorrowland. However, I'd want to use it differently than the present motif has it... Right now it's space station 77, but it always struck me as a blast shield for urban rocket liftoffs. In that case, it would be the launch site for the Moonliner, in a city teeming with Peoplemovers and Monorails. I was thinking about a time travel plot, involving Primeval World, but there has to be some way of fitting Inner Space into it as well ^_^
The Matterhorn Bobsleds are only obliquely related to Third Man on the Mountain, which is actually a historical drama about the first ascent of the peak. Needless to say, it doesn't have a heck of a lot to do with the ride... The inspiration was really the Matterhorn itself, which Walt fell in love with during the filming of the movie.
A Matterhorn ride would be workable as a hunt for the Yeti, but if you're going to go that route, you might as well make a movie of Expedition: Everest, since it has a more developed story to it. The Matterhorn Yeti is more or less just a set piece.
Other rides... hmmm... I'd love to see a movie about the Tower of Terror from DisneySea, mostly just following the exploits of Harrison Hightower III. I would say Shrunken Ned, but I'd like to see him as a character in the Jungle Cruise, heh heh. Enchanted Tiki Room, The Movie? National Treasure: The Hall of Presidents? Or I'd love to see a film based on that Mysteries of the Nautilus ride at Disneyland Paris, with this cool old Victorian submarine that gets attacked by a giant squid!
