Pick A Movie. Keep One Actor. The Rest Are Replaced By Muppets.

Coen Brothers films are perfect for this:

- Raising Arizona - keep Nick Cage (argument could be made for Tex Cobb)

- No Country for Old Men - keep Javier Bardem (argument could me made for Tommy Lee Jones)

- The Big Lebowski - keep Jeff Bridges (alternate would be Steve Buscemi)

After a brief web search, I clearly need to rewatch the OG muppet movie.  That cast list looks amazing.  My memories are that Fozzy, my favorite muppet at the time got a Studebaker from his uncle and sang the "Hope that something better comes along song" but looking at the actual cast besides the regular muppet people wow.

No disrespect to the ones not listed but Milton Berle, Mel Brooks, Dom Delouise, Ellitiot Gould, Bob Hope, Madeliene Kahn, Steve Martin, Telly Savalas, Orson Welles, Richard Pryor.  Wow.  And who had Mel Brooks in that survivor pool?  Not a lock, but a good price from the 70s aka my youth.

Tarantino movies can also be fun.

Inglrois Basterds - Christoph Waltz.

Pulp Fiction - Ving Rhames (or John Travolta or Peter Greene).

Also fun
Trainspotting - Robert Carlyle

The idea of Francis Begbie interacting with muppets is fascinating.

Sin City - Mickey Rourke

I have another candidate, but that's one movie I wouldn't name, as in there are still a few filters working in me.

The Princess Bride.  Keep Wallace Shawn.

Alternately, there was a recent suggestion of putting Cary Elwes in the role of the Grabdfather/Storyteller and the rest were muppets...Muppets... think you keep Elwes in his original role and then everyone else is a muppet...

I could go for some No Country For Old Men, keep TLJ.

Unrelated, The Lighthouse, keep whoever plays the mermaid since that’s the only other actor in it.
