I've never seen any of these films. Worth a blind buy?

[planet_jake]

You have the NERVE to not see an Marx Brothers movies and STILL take "Groucho" as a username? Sir, I'd throw a glass of water in your face if there was any water in my house!

YES they are great movies! Buy them!

No, this Groucho guy really sucks. Don't buy them.

Nobody could deliver a one-liner like Groucho

Sure; the racist caricatures in 'Go West' may be a bit over-the-top, but the racist caricatures in 'A Day At The Races' are hysterically funny.

Who dat man? It's Gabriel!

[People are gonna think I was being sarcastic, but I do actually find it funny -- in an astounding kind of way -- just how wrong some of those scenes are by today's standards. I'm also quite glad they're getting released uncut, regardless.]

I don't understand why the studio would put the extras on the discs that people will buy anyway, rather than putting them on the ones that people might be on the fence for. Actually, I wish they just had more extras in general. Even little ones. Why is there nothing on 'Night in Casablanca' about the invented controversy regarding the title?

[badger1997]

I'm just confused on what I should get. I love the Marx Brothers I have seen and I am definitely planning on getting A Night at the Opera, but don't think I need the whole set. How are the other movies? Is there one in there that I should definitely get? How do the other ones stack up to ones like Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera and Animal Crackers?

[nemein]

IMHO the three single ones are worth, the two double features aren't really. Still knowing me I'll end up buying the box set ;)

[RaynMan2019]

Automatic buy for me! Boo yah!

Also, I would definitely classify The Marx Bros. as being one of the most influental to comedic film in the history of cinema! Most excellent, dude...

[marty888]

For me, even the lesser movies have enough great moments to make them worthwhile. I'll grab 'em all!
