Kermit the Frog hosts the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational variety show to ever hit prime time. Decades later, it’s still funny, fast-paced, utterly madcap, and tremendous fun.
The first and still my favorite Muppet foray in feature films is a Hollywood fairy tale musical with Jim Henson’s unique brand of off-beat humor, crazy fantasy, and warm friendship.
Disney’s 1979 foray into big-budget sci-fi was the company’s first PG movie and an expensive flop that has become a cult movie for its impressive imagery.
Alan Arkin is a dentist roped into a scheme by his future in-law (Peter Falk), who may or may not be a CIA agent, in one of the funniest American movies of the seventies.
