Duck Soup! So funny! The Marx Brothers were so ahead of their time. I'm 24 and usually don't like old movies, but I can watch the Marx Brothers forever.

I also recommend the other ones I have seen: Horse Feathers, A Day at the Races, A Night at the Opera

I would start with Duck Soup, then Horse Feathers and branch out from there. Just have your remote ready next to you. I always had to rewind Groucho's lines to fully get what he said. Some of his lines can have so many funny angles in them you keep finding new stuff to laugh at each time.

Duo comedy between Harpo and Chico is excellent, as well as when all three interact. Don't expect much from Zeppo in the humor department though, he is the serious actor.

In the music department, Harpo alone simply amazes me! He was a musical genius in real life who could sit down with any instrument and within a few hours play it like a master! His harp playing is superb and is amazing to watch as it is such a rare talent!
