The funniest movie ever made!

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2002)

The fact that this movie is almost 70 years old and still gets top votes tells you something. When I was five I broke up laughing at the Marx Brothers' antics without really knowing what they were talking about - but that's because Harpo never says anything and he's the funniest one of them all. This was the movie the word "Romp" was coined for. The mirror scene between Chico and Harpo is classic and has been imitated many times (I Love Lucy and the X-Files both include knock-offs in episodes). Groucho proves that life is lonely at the top - for a reason. Chico proves that Groucho can be anything he wants as long as he realizes Chico is really in charge. Harpo proves both of them are nuts and Zeppo proves he has nothing to prove.
I think Duck Soup is the funniest movie ever made.
