Not at all surprised Groucho won.

My favorite is Harpo! Then Chico. Then Groucho.

I've watched three of their movies, now:

A NIGHT AT THE OPERA -- in February.

In early March, A DAY AT THE RACES -- my favorite!

And nearly a week ago, after misplacing the disc from Netflix for several weeks (I found it, among other things, while searching for my Census papers!), I finally watched DUCK SOUP.

...

The other night, TCM showed a whole bunch of the Marx Brothers movies. I put a tape in the VCR, and caught six hours worth; MONKEY BUSINESS and HORSE FEATHERS -- along with two of the other titles I've already seen.

I also DVRed AT THE CIRCUS and watched a bit of it today while putting it on tape.

This was after I watched my holy grail -- Holy Hell!

A movie I'd LOVE to review, but I'm not sure how.

I haven't wrote a proper film review since last July. Of course, what's so great about proper film reviews?

Nothing, except they serve their purpose, and right now, I'm not really keen on serving a purpose.

-- Want a drink? I'll serve that. ;)

Besides, I've been trying to think of a new way to review movies. Something fresh! Not the 'Let's take it apart, and see how it works' method, but a method more akin to, 'Now I'm gonna give it wings, kick it off a cliff, and see if it can fly!'

...

Thanks for voting! :)

And if you didn't vote -- well, thanks for reading this now.

I'm glad you're here.

I missed the poll, but would have voted for Harpo--which is not to say I don't love Groucho & Chico too. Really, they're just so great together!

hello, just stumbled upon this blog when I was searching for pics with all four brothers in them (that is, groucho, chico, harpo AND zeppo) and I realize its been a year since you made this entry and I dont know you, but... just wanted to say that I also likes harpo the best! he was always so crazy and makes all my meternal instincts just attack me. even if he was 90 years older than me (if he still was alive when I was born, but he wasent) I still get all motherly over him. haha!
