O<\/span>ne of the best things about being an adult at Christmas, beyond the fact no-one can shout at you for drinking in the morning, is making your own traditions. One of mine, perhaps I think my most cherished one, is The Muppet Christmas Carol. Specifically, The Muppet Christmas Carol Sing-Along screening at the Prince Charles Cinema just off London\u2019s Leicester Square.<\/p>\n

A story of the ills of capitalism, greed and isolationism, The Muppets\u2019 take on Dickens\u2019 classic tale continues to represent the best and truest adaptation of the text. Clever, self-referential and daring, I remain convinced it is perhaps the best thing ever committed to celluloid. As the season returns, the ever relevant question returns of what other classics The Muppets could, and should, add their considerable acting chops to. In the spirit of the giving season, here are ten suggestions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

1. Lord of the Rings<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t want to say Peter Jackson is a coward, but his inability to bring to an on-screen conclusion the raw sexual and romantic tension between Frodo Baggins and his ever dutiful \u2018gardener\u2019 Samwise Gamgee remains a blight on an almost perfect trilogy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tension \u2013 nay, a promise! \u2013 that could perhaps only be realised through the raw dynamism of Gonzo and Rizzo the rat, stepping in to bring climax to the greatest untold gay love story of our times. The Rings of Power we actually deserved (sorry). Other highlights include Kermit\u2019s Aragorn, Miss Piggy\u2019s Eowyn (I am no man!) and Ian McKellen\u2019s Gandalf continuing to steer the increasingly chaotic ship towards the fiery slopes of Mount Doom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

2. American Psycho<\/h3>\n

While Luca Guadagnino has apparently found his reboot Patrick Bateman in Austin Butler, he\u2019s really missed a trick. The perfect actor already exists in the form of Sam Eagle. It is, after all, the American way. (Fear not, Jared Leto reprises his role as brutally murdered Paul Allen)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

3. Hereditary<\/h3>\n

Miss Piggy\u2019s version of the \u2018I am your mother\u2019 monologue would win the Oscar so cruelly kept from Toni Colette as she struggles to reckon with the decapitation of Robin at the hands of Alex Wolff\u2019s Peter before accidentally immolating daddy Kermit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

4. The Substance<\/h3>\n

A spin on the classic \u2018keep one human\u2019 Muppets formula \u2013 The Substance, but Miss Piggy plays every<\/em> character. I\u2019ll be taking no more questions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

5. The Godfather<\/h3>\n

You come to me, on the morning of Fozzie Bear\u2019s daughter\u2019s wedding? Look how they massacred my Pepe the Prawn. Just get in the fishing boat Gonzo, everything will be fine, I promise. Janet\u2019s Appollina will be grieved forever. Al Pacino\u2019s star turn as Michael Corleone, with Kermit\u2019s Tom Hagen and Miss Piggy\u2019s Kay Adams-Corleone is ready to bring the Godfather Cinematic Universe to a whole new generation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

6. Trainspotting<\/h3>\n

Animal shines as Begbie. Baby Kermit traumatises a whole new generation by posthumously crawling across the ceiling. Fozzie Bear takes a wrong turn post break-up and tragically dies from AIDS. The Swedish Chef\u2019s Mother Superior steers the crew down the wrong path. Beaker shits the bed. Ewan McGregor stays. Choose Life. Choose the Muppets.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

7. Gone Girl<\/h3>\n

Ben Affleck stands bereft. Amazing Piggy is missing. Around him, cameras flash. Chief of Police Fozzie Bear stands alongside Miss Piggy\u2019s parents as they make a desperate plea for her to return. Affleck, in a state of shock, poses next to the picture of his wife. He smiles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

8. Wicked<\/h3>\n

Tell me you wouldn\u2019t want to hold space for Kermit\u2019s Elphaba? Gonzo\u2019s Boc? Sam the Eagle\u2019s Wizard? That Miss Piggy\u2019s \u2018Popular\u2019 wouldn\u2019t pop off? Jonathan Bailey, of course, stays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

9. Home Alone<\/h3>\n

Listen \u2013 if we\u2019re gonna retell a classic Christmas story, let\u2019s go with a modern fave. McCauley Culkin stays, fending off Rizzo and Gonzo as the Wet Bandits in increasingly creative ways. Meanwhile, Miss Piggy and Kermit frantically try to get a plane back to their accidentally abandoned son, and Sam the Eagle stuns as Old Man Marley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

10. Nymphomaniac<\/h3>\n

I decided, in my wisdom, that my first (and thus far only) watch of Lars von Trier\u2019s sex addiction epic was to be the day after a particularly big weekend. Six hours of increasingly depressing ruminations on the nature of sex, human relationships, power, abuse, and womanhood could only really be made better via the medium of Miss Piggy (which I guess is true of all things).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
