1)The Muppet movie(Not only the best Muppet movie but one of my favorite films of all time.)

2)The Great Muppet Caper(This is a Muppet movie with Diana Rigg my favorite actress of all time in it,what more do you want?!)

3)The Muppets Take Manhattan

4)The Muppets(The Muppets returned to the big screen and they are brought there by a creative team that really seems to understand them.  I wasn't expecting much when i went into the theater but this movie perfectly captured the feel of the Muppets and I laughed and even shed a few tears. This was tied with Tin Tin as my favorite big Hollywood production of it's year.)

5)The Muppet's Christmas Carol(I would rank this higher but they screwed up a few things with Scrooge's character that took away from his overall depthlike making him already obsesed with money when he met Bell and removing fran from the story so we have no idea where Fred came from and why Scrooge was so cold to him. It changed Scrooge from being a complex character to just a greedy SOB who turned good. This movie has a lot going for it but I can't rank it any higher then this because of those problems. Still the songs are good even if the widescreen cut does cut out the most important song in the film.)

6)Muppets Treasure Island

7)Muppets from space(after all the mystery having Gonzo turn out to be an alien in what was really a lifeless spoof of the X-Files was a real let down and as far as I am considered it didn't happen.  Gonzo is special because he is one of a kind and taking that away was really stupid if you ask me.)

I have not had a chance to see the latest Muppet movie yet so i can't rank it.
