I am a fan of The Marx Brothers and I also like when they're roped in a little, which is heresy for the die-hards who think MGM beat the anarchy out of them. The later MGM films are too slow and tired, but A Night at the Opera is the sweet spot. I used to prefer Duck Soup, but I've shifted over time. The one thing I don't like is in the transition, Harpo goes from being the biggest agent of chaos to the target of the most harsh physical abuse.
Best Groucho One-Liner: "Listen, Gottlieb, nix on the love making. Because, I saw Mrs. Claypool first. Of course, her mother really saw her first; but, there's no point in bringing the Civil War into this." (A Night at the Opera)
