Duck Soup (1933)

The Marx Brothers — Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and Zeppo — have never been more on top of their game than with this hilarious romp through the absurdities of politics and nationalism. It still makes us want to cheer “Hail, hail Freedonia!” (and laugh at lyrics like, “If you think this country is bad off now, just wait till I get through with it.” Whatever your personal politics, that probably rings true.)
