4. “Horse Feathers,” 1932 A wonderfully loopy, anarchic Marx Brothers film in which Groucho (pictured) is cast as the new president of Huxley College. He’s there to save the sinking school by hiring ringer footballers. The behemoth athletes morph into Chico and Harpo, and the rest is insanity, including Groucho’s hilarious wooing of the campus widow. The fourth Marx Brother, Zeppo, plays Groucho’s idiot son, in his 12th year as a Huxley undergrad.
