ANIMAL CRACKERS: Animal Crackers is a classic of screen history and as uproariously funny ... more
today as it was 60 years ago. This film introduced
Croucho's African lecture (one morning I shot an
elephant in my pyjamas. How he got into my
pyjamas, I don't know.) and the card game which
Harpo and Chico play with the wealthy society
woman Mrs Rittenhouse.MONKEY BUSINESS: Harpo,
Chico, Croucho and Zeppo, head for high seas

from the authorities on a luxury liner the quartet
of stowaways become bodyguards to rival gangsters,
with the usual hilarious results and naturally no
woman can resist a shipboard romance with the
wily, quick-witted Croucho.HORSE FEATHERS: The
quintessential Marx Brothers comedy. Croucho,
Harpo, Chico and yes Zeppo, are at their manic
peak in this uproariously anarchic parody of
college life. As the fun loving president of
Huxley College Croucho tries to keep the student
body in line with hilarious results! Horse
Feathers contains some of the greatest sequences
in move comedy history.DUCK SOUP: A pointed
political satire, Duck Soup is the Marx Brothers'
funniest and most insane film. The film contains
many of the Brothers most famous sequences
including a final battle episode that has been
copied by everyone from Woody Allen to Mad
Magazine.

All hail the Marx Brothers
Review of The Marx Brothers Collection (DVD) by  alvy_singer

Advantages: Wisecracks, chaos and laughter
Disadvantages: A little too dated for some people

..., in fact it is one of the funniest films they made! What I like about it is the way, as in all of their films, the brothers go to all costs to defy authority and rules, they just don't care who they offend, or what order they disturb. They were rebels with a cause - to entertain a generation of immigrants who, like the brothers themselves, were struggling to adjust to the strange New World they had found themselves in. The Marx Brothers were a beacon of hope to those people, as were the generation of comedians that grew up with them - the likes of Jack Benny, Sid Caesar and Milton Berle. In their films, as in real life, they were reacting against the new set of rules they were presented with. All three brothers are at their very best in this film. Groucho, such an inspiration to me, plays the part of Otis B. Driftwood... Read review

The Hammer Collection Box Set
Review of The Hammer Collection (Box Set) (DVD) by  spacavoy

Advantages: An aesthetically pleasing collection
Disadvantages: Some rather poor inclusions

...A selection of classic Hammer films from the very good to...not so good. An aesthetically pleasing set for fans of the studio, or those wanting at least half of the titles. Features star favourites Peter Cushing, Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress and Christopher Lee (about whom there is an interesting documentary with 'Scars of Dracula'). The extra features vary greatly, the biggest ommission, in my opinion, is the total absence of subtitles for the hearing impaired. For those who are interested all films are anamorphic, some for the first time, and completely uncut. My personal favourite was the inclusion of the 1965 film 'The Nanny' which stars a very chilling Bette Davis in a well scripted, and often overlooked role. Probably a tad overpriced for most, but new DVD versions of individual films are also available, so take... Read review

The Blues Brothers Collection
Review of The Blues Brothers Collection (Box Set) (DVD) by  bbjbb

Advantages: The special features are brilliant and unrelesed footage is fantastic
Disadvantages: The are none

...For Brilliant music and for whitty comedy, the blues brothers can not be beaten. This collection offers high qualtiy productions set over 4 discs which all add to the blues brothers experience. Disc 1 has the film on it in its orginal state. Not remastered so it keeps that 70's look it has. It has some of the biggest names in soul and blues such as James Brown (RIP) Aretha Franklin, Jonny Lee Hooker and more in an all star cast. The plot keeps getting thicker and he storyline is fantastic. Princess leia also has a camio role in the film. It trully is a masterpiece hat no modern day film can equal. Disc 2's copy of the blues brothers 2000 still has the good music and the good songs but can't beat the orginal. Disc 3 Has live performances from the 1970's which shows you why the hollywood money men let them make the film in... Read review
