Does anyone know what disc # Horse Feathers is for the Marx Brothers Silver Screen DVD Collection. I want to rent it online, but they don't say which disc is which.
Thanks

Nah, they split 'em up for online rentals.
Somebody posted a very similar question about renting Duck Soup sometime back; they wanted to know he disc number. I went back and found the topic to see what I wrote. It was:

Hmmmm....well, my discs don't have numbers on them, so I can't tell you for certain. I know that Duck Soup was the fifth film, chronologically...but the disc is placed in the first slot (from left to right) in the box. So my guess is either #1 or #5. Since the rating for Disc #1 on Blockbuster is five stars, my guess is that's Duck Soup.

So if Duck Soup is any indication, then Horse Feathers is probably disc #2. At least I hope so.

For the Silver Screen Collection, in my box,the discs were in chronological order determined by the release date of each film...
#1 The Cocoanuts
#2 Animal Crackers
#3 Monkey Business
#4 Horse Feathers
#5 Duck Soup
#6 Bonus Materials (not worth a rent, IMO)

The problem is, the discs aren't numbered.. each disc just has the name of the film printed on it. Whether they start at #1 with The Cocoanuts or go backwards and start with Duck Soup at #1 is anybody's guess.
I don't know if they have the bonus materials availible for rent, but if they only have the set listed as #s 1 through 5, you could just order #2 and #4... that way you'd be assured of getting Animal Crackers and Horse Feathers... both great, hilarious films...
It's a great set and would be well worth it to just buy the set. One of my favorite DVD sets without a doubt... even though I would have liked Universal to spend a little more time restoring the films themselves instead of just concentrating on the packaging (which is awesome).
