>           Copacabana                 $59.95
>           A Day at the Races          49.95
>           A Night at the Opera        49.95
>           A Night in Casablanca       49.95
>           Room Service                19.95
>      A couple questions.  Does anyone have a complete list of all movies
> the Marx Brothers were in?  Does anyone know where others are available?
> Why the variety in price?

Off the top of my head:
     Animal Crackers
     Cocoanuts
     Horsefeathers
     Monkey Business
     Duck Soup
     At the Circus
     Go West
     Love Happy

To relive many of the best moments from the better Marx Brothers movies
I recommend the books "Hooray for Captain Spaulding" and "Why a Duck"
by Richard Anobile.  They contain stills and dialogue from the movies,
and some discussion of the making of the movies.  Reading the lines
is not nearly as good as hearing them, and of course Harpo's jokes
don't work at all in a book, but it is cheaper than owning legal copies
of all the movies.
