I love this question and would love taking your class.
I think the hardest thing is to find films that are good, though. (Frankenstein, for starters.) There are a lot of terrible film adaptations of great literature.
What about a screenplay and film? Do you think your students would read Hiroshima Mon Amour? If they had a hard time getting through The Color Purple it might be a bit of a slog. It's short, though.
I have to think a bit. I'll be back.
