I will start:
Clue. Keep Madeline Kahn (because Tim Curry is an (honorary) Muppet).
To go further:
Kermit as Mr. Green. Miss Piggy as Mrs. Peacock. Gonzo as Professor Plum. Sam would make a decent Col. Mustard.

since it’s on my mind from my recent post at TOP,
Better Off Dead:
John Cusak: Kermit
French girlfriend: Ms. Piggy (get it? Francais?)
ex-girlfriend: Janice
weird druggie friend: Gonzo
drag-race rivals: Honeydew and Beaker
asshole boss: Sweetums
David Ogden Stiers (dad): Sam the Eagle
cameo “that’s a waste of a perfectly good white boy!” : Rowlf (ETA could totally be Zoot, too, or Dr. Teeth)
I’ll keep Diane Weist as the mom since I can’t think of a good muppet for the role.

Dungeons and Dragons (2000). Keep Jeremy Irons.
Sure, it would be complete chaos. But I think it’s got promise…

“Forbidden Planet”. Keep…oh, Leslie Nielsen.
Dr. Moebius - Bunsen Honeydew
Alta - Janis
Robby the Robot - Beaker
Lt. “Doc” Ostrow - Kermit the Frog
Lt. Jerry Farman - Fozzie Bear
Chief Quinn - Scooter
Cook - The Swedish Chef OR Animal
Id Monster - Animal OR Sweetums
That’s just the most visible cast, btw. And I’m sick of Miss Piggy.
OH - are “Sesame Street” Muppets allowed? I mean, that really expands the playing field. And I move that Pepe the stupid fucking shrimp or whatever he is not be permitted for use in this game.
(i wuz gonna do “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”, but i didn’t feel like thinkin’ that much)

oh, and the “two dollars” kid should probably be Animal. what’s the name of the crazy guy that blows stuff up? maybe that guy. if we go new-school, the king prawn character would be good.

ok, I think I’ve hammered out another one
Gilda (1946)
Gilda: Piggy is a perfect match
Johnny: Zoot in his only starring role
Ballin (knife-in-walking-stick guy): Sam the Eagle (really should be one of the skeksis)
Uncle Pio (washroom attendant): Fozzie
Police Detective: Kermit
We’ll-get-an-annulment-then-get-married guy: Scooter

Legend (1985).
Kermit and Piggy as the leads, of course. And keep Curry. Just think of the image of Piggy dancing and spinning around in the goth ballgown as Curry’s Darkness looks on… 
Fozzie as Gump?
Gonzo as Oona? Or as Meg, I suppose, but putting him in the fairy getup sounds funnier.
Bunsen and Beaker as Screwball and Brown Tom?
