1. A Night at the Opera, no question!
I was laughing more after 30 seconds on that clip than the Duck Soup clip :D

2. Duck Soup
Not by a wide margin, mind you. A flop in its time, it achieved vindication in the lifetimes of its performers and creators.

3. Animal Crackers.
Of those two, I picked Duck Soup, but A Night at the Opera is also quite funny.

4. I thought about it last night.
I slept on it.

I still can't decide.

Equally funny, it is.

5. Duck Soup by a hair
The stateroom scene is my favorite bit of theirs, and the stage machinery chaos at the end is up there too, but Duck Soup is a bit more consistently funny all the way through. And the street vendor scene with Harpo and Chico is probably my second favorite.

6. I like all their movies.
In the movie, "Night...." near the end is an even funnier scene involving Harpo and bed switching around. Just thinking of it makes me laugh.

7. Soup, baby, soup....but they are all certainly worth watching any time.
Nothing even approaches them today.

Might also want to try "The Bank Dick", W.C. Fields' classic.
