Based on you guys' love, I just watched this. Believe it or not, my first Marx Brothers experience.
Holy shit was it funny. Those guys are ridiculously sharp.
Oh man. They are great. Seek out some more if you can. Night at the opera is great too.
I've owned a DVD 4-pack for years and that's in it. I'm gonna watch those soon.
I don't care what Burt Reynolds says about us. You are awesome.

Get a room.

I'm not sure about that one. I feel like the responses already dwindled so heavily for this thread that it wouldn't be worth it.
temporary hijacking of this thread:
The Gold Rush
Un Chien Andalou
Hallelujah
The Circus
Lonesome

The Phantom Carriage

I've honestly not watched many 30s movies, but I do list "Freaks" as one of my favourite movies of any decade

I like Freaks. Like most early 1930s movies, time has taken its toll (even compared to the late 30s), but it’s a movie worth watching. It’s got heart and a good story.

That is always good, when a movie isn’t ruined by poor outdated attitudes. Same for westerns picturing Nstive Americans, although there as well, many movies were ahead of their time.
