Pros: You get to watch their genius without interruption!

Cons: It's not complete: A few of their best were left out.

"A NIGHT AT THE OPERA" (1935),is a Marx Bros. classic! It's on everybodies favorite-of-all-time Comedies list. And for good reason: It's just plain hilarious!!!"A DAY AT THE RACES" (1937), is another great one! Watch for H...arpo to play a major role at the end! The "tootsie-fruitsie ice cream" gag is a stitch!"A NIGHT IN CASABLANCA" (1946), was not one of their better efforts. Honestly, I felt they were kinda old, kinda tired and they kinda phoned-in some of the jokes."ROOM SERVICE" (1938), was a great one. I think it was originally a Broadway play but it transferred well to the screen."AT THE CIRCUS" (1939), is a wildly entertaining romp through the backyard of poor Margaret Dumont. That poor woman put up with more shenanigans from these guys than any woman in history. You've got to love her for it; she's the perfect foil!"GO WEST" (1940), I felt was kind of uninspired. "THE BIG STORE" (1941), was a non-stop laugh-fest from beginning to end! Watch for the "bedroom" scene and you'll know what I mean! Read more Less
