Here's one to start:
A group of insufferable college student fans of Apple computers and the Apple lifestyle graduate from college and go into massive credit card debt trying to support their habits without student loans. They try emailing Steve Jobs, writing him letters and so on for help, but he never answers. One of them gets a job at Microsoft and his friends disown him, only to warm back up when he comes up with a plan to get them all out of debt by kidnapping Bill Gates. In the end, Jobs answers their calls for help leading to a meeting of the computer giants and their idolaters.

You have to come up with some way to tie his blindness/surgery/new vision to the struggle and stakes involved in getting her back. You'll need some sort of clever back story as to how he lost his sight. Also, the reason she is unattractive should be something that doesn't threaten ugly people who might buy tickets.
A badass biker goes cross country looking for his woman who has been kidnapped by a rival biker gang. Since there are other biker gangs along the way, his gang goes with him, and it plays the same way as Road Rash, with tons of bike crashes, and knocking guys off bikes. Once he gets his woman back, the rest of his gang has been taken out, so she gets on the back of his bike with a weapon, and knocks guys off their bikes while he drives. After they get revenge on the gang, they head off, only to get surrounded by cops driving bikes, cars, and helicopters, they do their best to hold them off, but realize it's impossible, and end up driving up the front of a cop car, and jumping the Mexico boarder, and losing the cops. It skips a year, and the main guy is in a Mexican bar with his woman, and a new gang, he goes to the bathroom, and takes a piss, he washes his hands, and goes into the main room to find the whole bar murdered, and his wife gone. It ends with him getting on his bike, and hauling ass down the road.

i read a news article where this really happened: dude lost his sight when he was like 5 because a firecracker went off in his face. he regained his sight, and he saw his wife and infant daughter for the first time. i thought it would be funny if he saw her and thought, "oh fuuuuuuck..."
i was thinking he tries to buy her shit, but he has horrible taste, because he doesn't know what looks good.
i figure she should be really great and she takes good care of him and has a hot body, but her face is just really hideous. plus he tries to win her back when she is still ugly, so no "hollywood makeover" where they take her glasses off and straighten her hair and she's beautiful, because that ruins the motivation to get her back.
i bet if i did this and sold it, that is exactly how they would change it...

Stop right there.
Easy sell, especially if you can throw in some kind of twist, like making the gangs FEMALE and the person they are out to save is one member's teenage son (played by whoever is hot right now) who is kidnapped for some interesting reason.

Yeah, the idea would make for a great movie, but Hollywood would expect you to go the route of a Jack Black/Ben Stiller/Will Farrell vehicle where we all learn an important lesson about life as the characters become better people.
A doltish man struggling to find his purpose in life realizes that he could find fame and notoriety by becoming a serial killer. Knowing nothing about murder, he tries to copy his newfound idols; famed serial killers. He tries running around town with a hockey mask, which only results in himself getting mugged by rabid hockey fans after a NHL game, wearing a cast on his arm to pick up girls at the beach resulting in him nearly drowning and a plethora of other failed attempts. Eventually he tries to break in a home and kill a family, ala Nightstalker, and actually hinders a real murder attempt and eventually saves the family, resulting in local fame and notoriety as a hero.
