How about Jules and Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction? Either them, or Bert and Ernie. “Time to get into character.”
Honestly , picture BB or Ernie doing the “Righteous Man” speech while Snuffie/Bert stand around bored in the background, waiting for the drama queen to get it over with.
Nah, it’s gotta be Shaw. Picture him giving the Indianapolis speech while Hooper (Fozzie) looks on in awe. At the end, he gets eaten by a muppet shark.
Full Metal Jacket might be good, but I can’t decide which way to go with it. Do we have a human drill instructor teaching and berating a company of muppets, are do we have Pvt. Joker being verbally berated by a muppet R. Lee Ermey?
2001: A Space Odyssey
Moon-Watcher: Cookie Monster
Dr. Floyd: Grover
Frank Poole: Gary Lockwood
Dave Bowman: Kermit
HAL 900 (voice): Fozzie
“Lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. Uh, no offense.”
“Oh, bird…” 
I’d like to see Sam the Eagle as the drill sergeant.
Sam’s got the right posture for it, but he was always pretty ineffectual and I can’t really see him being so gleefully profane. In the tradition of comic actors turning in great dramatic performances, I think Link Hogthrob is our Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. He’s got the military bearing; if we can get him to tone down the comedy, I think he can pull it off.
I’ll be on the coast next week. Call his people and see if he’ll come in and read for it.
I am really impressed how much their casting ideas and mine meshed (even granting that Kermit and Piggy are obvious), and they definitely had the right idea of having the Electric Mayhem be all the chorus, not just one particular group…would be more amused if it were the whole album, though.
Mm…thinking on it, though I’d make two revisions to my cast - 1: expand the Mayhem’s gig, as mentioned above. 2: The human really should be one of the main roles, so move Gonzo to Simon Zealotes and have Judas played by Brandon Victor Dixon (who played him in the recent NBC version).
Fifth Element
Kermit as Major Dallas
Ms. Piggy as Leeloo - expanding her range starting from innocent at the start, to butt kicking heroine, tragic figure, world savior, to the final love coupling at the end. Bravo, Bravo.
Rizzo the Rat as Zorg.
His incompetent assistant - Scooter.
Keep Priest Vito Cornelius as human actor Ian Holm.
His incompetent assistant - Fozzy Bear
Pepe the King Prawn as Ruby Rhod.
Clifford - a lavender-colored, catfish-faced, sunglasses-wearing character with multicolored dreadlocks as the Diva with the stones inside.
Animal as head of the Mangalores.
Sam Eagle as the General.
Statler and Waldorf - either/hell both - as the President.
Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem as the musical accompaniment.
Gonzo as Baby Ray.
Still working on Young Dr. Frankenstein.
Muppets read famous movie lines (Technically, Sesame Street characters.)
Bert and Ernie as Sherlock Holmes and Watson; Ernie would drive Holmes crazy.
I did this one on Twitter: Unforgiven.
Keep Gene Hackman.
Kermit as Will Munny.
Fozzie as Ned.
Scooter as the Schofield Kid.
Bobo as Skinny.
And the best one: Uncle Deadly as English Bob, and Pepe as Beauchamp.
How about Cookie Monster, doing his Monsterpiece Theatre voice?
If you go to YouTube, you can find a whole series of Sesame Street parodies of movies, televisions shows and songs.
Edited to add, I’ve only seen a couple, but they’re designed to be enjoyable by the kids and have something that the adults who saw the movie or television show would appreciate.
The Greatest Story Ever Told, with Tom Hanks as Jesus.
The Manchurian Candidate
Miss Piggy as Mrs. Iselin
Kermit as Mr. Iselin
Beaker as Raymond Shaw
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as Sen. Thomas Jordan
Janice as Eugénie Rose Chaney
With Hugh Jackman as Maj. Bennett Marco
I want to see Kermit and Fozzie in FACE/OFF.
I figure that Fozzie swaps in for John Travolta, so he can do the sing-songy “So, wow! Looks like you’re going to be in here for THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS!” And I figure that means Kermit’s demented kid brother is Robin, sure as Janice and the band would fill in for Gina Gershon and the lowlifes, and Sam The Eagle for Harve Presnell; but instead of Miss Piggy in Joan Allen’s role, I figure that’s actually better unchanged: the whole point is that an Oscar-caliber dramatic actress with a touch of older-woman sexiness strives to look calm and poised and composed in the midst of a crazy over-the-top action flick, and, honestly, that really just improves with muppets.
(Oh, and when Bunsen Honeydew does the switcheroo operation, there’s the option of seeing puppets just get moved from hand to hand, which is downright nuts.)
The Taking of Pelham 123 with Walter Matthau as the human. The 4 hijackers would be band members. Of course you’d have to work Fozzy in there somewhere.
Actually any movie with Walter Matthau and muppets would be awesome.
I thought of a better one.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest with the Chief as the only human. It’s been way too long since I’ve watched The Muppets to cast the roles.
Any movie with Walter Matthau would be a miracle.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Keep Gene Wilder.
The Bad News Bears, definitely.
The Odd Couple, too, but who’s going to be Felix? Not Kermit. Any ideas?
