Movies that should be re-made....

...as muppet movies.

Apologies if this has been done before (I am not what one would call a regular on the GF). Simply put, which movies would you like to see re-made as muppet movies?

We've had A Muppet Christmas Carol (genius), Muppet Treasure Island (poor, in my view) and Muppet Wizard of Oz (passable), but what other movies would benefit from a muppet makeover?

My top 3:

1. Muppet Jaws (Kermit as Chief Brody, Fozzie Bear as Quint, Zoot as Hooper, Sweetums as Jaws)

2. Muppet Silence of the Lambs (The Great Gonzo as Hannibal Lecter, Piggy as Agent Starling,)

3. Muppet Goodfellas (Fozzie Bear as Henry Hill, Piggy as Karen, Animal as Tommy de Vito, Kermit as Jimmy Conway, Statler as Paul Cicero)

Your suggestions, please....

This thread has my brain moving... but I've been drinking this evening so alas I am only coming up with bad ideas.

However, Muppet Robin Hood could be ace.

The best bit in that is where they list the cast and in the middle keep Eric Stoltz. Fantastic.
