100 Favorite Movies: 27

I know I'm going to come across as a dissenter for placing the 2011 Muppet film ahead of The Muppet Movie from the 1970s, but I can't help it if this is the movie (and the hype surrounding it) that made me fall in love with The Muppets in the first place. This movie really was a perfect way to bring the Muppets back into mainstream popular culture, though. It was a great way to play the music, light the lights, and meet the Muppets all over again after a bit of a wash and a hiatus. There was just so much nostalgia awash in The Muppets in the soundtrack and the scenes and the jokes and even the camera angles. I just can't get over the amazing feeling that came from this and November 2011.

Musical comedy directed by James Bobin and written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller in 2011.

Starring: Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, David Rudman, Matt Vogel, Peter Linz, Jack Black, Alan Arkin, and Zach Galifianakis.

Tune in tomorrow for number twenty-six!
