The Birdcage

This is one of my top five favorite movies, always guaranteed to make me laugh. It is packed with excellent performances by all of the actors and Gene Hackman in the scene at the end with all of the stars dancing out of the club is unforgettable. I will also stand by my assertion that Hank Azaria was robbed of a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in this film; to this day my true love and I laugh whenever we hear "The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and visualize Agador kicking his legs while cleaning the apartment. I also liked seeing Williams rein in his usual manic bursts of comedy in exchange for the quiet dignity he has in this role as a club owner wrestling with what is best for his family versus the expectations of the world at that time. It really is a must-see, and it would probably surprise anyone prejudiced against the LGBTQIA+ community as to how family-oriented their family is.

It is the ultimate feel-good movie—farce at its best.

A great remake executed perfectly by its two leads. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane's performances are underscored by fantastic small choices, like Gene Hackman's candy-eating conservative neuroses, which still feel fresh and relevant 30 years on.

Great Mike Nichols comedy with a memorable performance by Robin Williams

Robin Williams and Nathan Lane…need I say more?

Thoroughly underrated part of Robin Williams impressive resume. This is one of very few 90s comedy movies featuring queer characters without the jokes being at their expense. This is clearly for the queer community by the queer community. This is hilarious and deep and easy to get sucked into.

I loved this movie! Hysterical! Well acted!

amazing cast! Robin Williams in an awesome performance.

One of Robin Williams best movies. Fantastic and funny.
