I just bought the Marx Brothers DVD set. Ask me anything

[Gothic Sponge]

Damn, it was not cheap. I wish their early films were on here too. I need Duck Soup! I'm going to watch 'A Night at the Opera' tonight.

1. Whaddya get?

No Duck Soup?

I hate to break it to you, but their first movie -- the Cocoanuts -- is one of their best.

[Gothic Sponge]

7. I love Cocoanuts too

[rbnyc]

2. Are you married? Are you rich?

Answer the second question first.

:)

[wryter2000]

3. Why a duck?

Why a no chicken?

4. Are there any good value-added extras on the DVDs?

Interviews, biographical information, outtakes, commentaries, etc.?

5. What's on it?

If you don't have Coconuts or Duck Soup, you got robbed!

9. Whats the password?

[Burma Jones]

10. Is it the one with their late films???

I think it might be this set:

A Night at The Opera
A Day at The Races
A Night in Casablanca
Room Service
At the Circus
Go West
The Big Store


I sure as hell wish they had this set instead:

Cocoanuts (was on DVD, I got one, now out of print)
Animal Crackers (was on DVD, I got one, now out of print)
Monkey Business
Horsefeathers (was on DVD, I got one, now out of print)
Duck Soup


BUT....A Night at the Opera is a pretty damn fine film. They really did lose something when Zeppo split.....

12. cool!

You won't believe this but i watched "A Night at the Opera" all the way through for the first time last night! (I thought I had seen it but just the classic crowded cabin scene from some other show I guess)

It was great! Although it is on vhs and there were some jumps in the film.
I have all of them through Room Service on vhs now except for A Day at the Races...I know I haven't seen that one yet!

Animal Crackers is another great one and of course Duck Soup!

Oh I guess I should ask you anything! Why did Gummo split so early?

14. most excellent

I fell in love with the Marx Brothers as a young child back in the '60s.

My mother would let me stay up late to watch whenever a Marx Brothers movie was on TV. I read every book I could find about them.

They still crack me up after all these years. They were brilliant.
