Number 30


A Night At the Opera (1935) - The Marx Bros.


Taking the age of this film into consideration, It still makes me laugh!
Part of the charm about this film is that it is old AND stupid. So many modern comedies owe so much to A Night at the Opera;
The Slapstick,
The Musical,
The one liners,
The Sarcasm,
The Facial expressions.

It's easy to say that without any of the Marx Bros. films we'd have no;
Life of Brian, Anchor Man or Airplane!
But what makes opera so special? The fact that it actually made me cry with laughter and got me absolutely hooked on The Marx Brothers, that's what.

5/5
