60594-Ranking Muppet Movies

[Humble Master]

Gimgimno, thank you for putting Muppet Family Christmas up there. That is one of the greatest Christmas specials of all time, and the Muppets at their very best (and it hs an actual on screen appearance by Jim!).

And what's with the love of Muppet Treasure Island over The Great Muppet Caper?

Sigh...kids these days...

[Humble Master]

Side note: I'm giddily excited for the new muppet movie that starts filming...when was it? Oh that's right, today!

[C is for]

Muppet Family Christmas sounds familiar....I'm sadly vague about the details of most Muppet movies. I just remember that Muppets in Manhattan made me uncomfortable. The first one I thought of was Follow that Bird. The Frog Prince would have to be next. The rest...*shrug*

This is why I love you.

Sticking with muppet (thus no Labyrinth nor Dark Crystal) movies and specials (thus no tv series) here are my rankings:

1. Muppet Family Christmas
2. Muppet Christmas Carol
3. The Great Muppet Caper
4. Muppets from Space
5. The Muppet Movie
6. Christmas Eve on Sesame Street
7. Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa
8. Muppet Treasure Island
9. Muppets Take Manhattan
10. It's a Very Muppet Christmas Movie
11. The Muppets' Wizard of Oz
12. Follow that Bird

Based on all I've read I'm prepared for the new Muppets movie to be in the top 3. Here's hoping the movie lives up to its promise.

Because I remind you of the babe?

[Dragon Lady]

What babe?

[Katya]

The babe with the power!

[Dragon Lady]

What power?

[Katya]

The power of voodoo!

Who do?

[Dragon Lady]

Who do?

Dah! You stole my line!

[Laser Jock]

Who do?

Dah! You stole my line!

I've never seen whatever you're referring to here, but I have seen this dialogue quoted before, and I'm pretty sure "Dah! You stole my line!" isn't in it.

[vorpal blade]

I've never seen a single Muppet movie, but the dialogue is basically much older than the 1986 movie "Labyrinth." I first heard it, in a slightly different form, in the 1947 film "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer," starring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy, and Shirley Temple. Cary Grant is trying to act like a hip youngster and starts the line, "You remind me of a man." It goes on, "What man?" "The man with the power." "What power?" etc.

Who do?

You do!

[TheAnswerIs42]

What's on second.

Just so you know.

[Dragon Lady]

Who do?

Do what?

[snort] For two reasons. One, the credit for the quote. Two, Katya, you must have been so upset at bob's usurping that you forgot a line.

Oh no! Well, I fixed it above and changed the emoticon appropriately.
