The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984), directed by Frank Oz (VIDEO)

Together again! The last Muppet adventure created under Jim Henson’s watch follows Kermit and friends as they try to make it on Broadway. Central Park and Sardi’s are key locations, and our beloved amphibian has an inspiring epiphany (“This frog is stayin’!”) atop the Empire State Building.—Keith Uhlich
