Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST!
Review: Whenever I'm feeling disgusted, disillusioned and unhappy with college life (which is quite often) I put in this film and still laugh myself silly. The Marx Brothers take the arrogance and self-importance of college professors and students and tear it to shreds. From the first scene when Groucho, about to be installed as President of the college is seen shaving while the retiring President gives his farewell speech, to the hilarious football scenes, this is a must-see for anyone who's ever been near a college.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is why the Marxes made the cover of Time!
Review: Yes, back in the 30s the Marx brothers made the cover of Time magazine. And the movie still that was placed there was from Horse Feathers. And with good reason -- this is the best Marx film of the thirteen.

It's an absolute shame that a full version of this movie does not exist. Apparently sometime in the 60s, the movie was released to TV, and in the interest of time considerations some of the major negative was altered and eventually lost. We are told that there is from three to ten minutes of the film that cannot be found. What a pity! This is a movie that you never want to end. Any additional minutes would be manna from Marx heaven.

You will also notice some film "jumping" in the "make out scene" with Thelma Todd. These are poor splices that have been made over time, but do not detract from the final masterpiece that is Horse Feathers.

What else can I say but . . . "Swordfish"!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Whatever it is....I'm against it!
Review: You should have all the Marx Brothers movies in your collection -except At the Circus and The Big Store. Both are stinkers. The only one I haven't seen is Room Service so I can't include that one yet. I don't know why people say Go West wasn't that good. It is one of my favorites(TIM-BER)and has a great train finale written by the great train master himself, Buster Keaton. I also moderatley enjoyed Night in Casablanca although their comedic timing was a little off. HorseFeathers is definatley in their top three best films so DON'T MISS IT!!!!!!!!!
