Hell yes! Stingray Sam finally made it and after I stopped saying 'today will be the day'...which of course I knew would mean that it would show up today! I have to thank Miss Vicky for discovering Stingray Sam and choosing it for the Musical Countdown Group Watch as otherwise I wouldn't have seen this very special and strangely compelling sci-fi musical!

I have Stingray Sam as my #7

I liked this much better than Cory McAbee's other film The American Astronaut. I had a smile on my face through out the movie that's how quirky-fun this film was for me. I thought the movie was a breath of fresh air and showed a lot of talent from the film's writer, director, star and singer Cory McAbee. Loved the way he did world building on a tight budget. He did that with one helluva creative sci fi narrative about men having babies and economics and social class commentaries and rocket ship factories. With the wacky photo stills and David Hyde Pierce doing the voice over, the movie was able to build one heck of a cool alternative world.

This is going to make my ballot, I don't care if I have to bump an old musical to do it...I think Stingray Sam deserves a spot on our countdown.

Just like Muppet Christmas Carol, I'm pretty sure I must have seen The Muppet Movie when I was a kid; but if I did, I don't remember anything. Weirdly enough, my kids haven't quite latched onto them, and it might be "late" for them already.

I don't think I've even heard of Stingray Sam.


SEEN: 16/56
MY BALLOT: 5/25

I watched Hair for the group watch. I didn't care for it though.
Except for "I'm Late", I can't remember any other songs in that movie.

I have watched The Muppet Movie several times with my daughter, but lately she seems to be all set with it, and she wanders off after about 15 minutes. This is fine with my wife, who for some reason can't stand the muppets. Anyway, I have always adored The Muppet Movie.

You mean 2. Yoda is in the cult. I know who one of the others are and pretty sure I know who the fifth one is.

Edit: Voter 5 just revealed himself immediately below this post and it’s who I expected.

Stingray Sam was recommended to me by MV as well. There's only about 5 musicals that even have songs I really like and SS is one of them. It's also hilarious. I could've had it higher but didn't want to overreact.

I liked The Muppet Movie as a kid when it came out.

5. Charlotte's Web (#79)
7. Stingray Sam (#46)
10. The Lure (#51)
17. Calamity Jane (#84)
20. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (#66)
21. A Star is Born 1954 (#67)
25. 42nd Street (#76)

The Muppet Movie was #69 on the MoFo Top 100 of the 1970s.

Yes, I hit again for second day in a row... I had The Muppet Movie (1979) at #14 on my ballot.

The Muppet Show was popular when I was a kid and I've enjoyed it, especially some particular characters... Well, I'm not sure that I knew in those years that a full Muppet movie exists.. I saw it this summer for the countdown since I noticed it in some of the network musical-lists. It turned to be just the same of what I remember for the show and good enough to vote for it here.
