[@justinhamilton8647]

What an amazing movie. The line “there’s only one place in the world i call home, and it’s because you’re there” has stuck with me for well over two decades. One of the most tender, longing quotes ever put to film.

[@kilgoresapothecary4501]

What an absolutely brilliant film. Way ahead of its time. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are legends.

[@kathconserv]

Don’t forget Hank Azaria.

[@Stefarooh]

Quite possibly the funniest comedy from the nineties. It's a complete riot. Nathan Lane steals the entire show in this one. Why don't they make comedies like this anymore? Comedies that are genuinely funny. In todays comedies you are lucky if you get one giggle and a smirk out of a 90 min run time. The world really has lost the ability to laugh at itself.

[@Sgureghian]

You answered your own question. People don't know how to laugh anymore. Everything needs a trigger warning.

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

This is a remake of a French movie. In the American industry, which is an *industry,* much more formulaic stories are preferred, because they are less risky. Stories like this one get remade only when they have been internationally successful.

[@creativechau]

I'm assuming this trailer just tried to sell audiences by giving away the biggest plot points and Robin Williams being silly but I just watched this and it was one of the most perfectly paced, well written, refreshing, daring, and utterly hilarious film I've ever seen.

[@omgrapist]

God I feel sorry for you if this is "funny"

[@StinkyGreenBud]

Must be tough going through life without a sense of humor.

[@Unfluencer]

@@omgrapist not too late to come out of that closet and be happy!

[@cristiany140]

This movie has done better job for inclusion and tolerance than anything done by netflix or disney

[@Petergriffinbigchillin]

Because this was a funny movie without pandering. It's obvious that Netflix and Disney are forcing every diverse thing they possibly can and most of it ends up cringe.

[@melikeguvenc9992]

Yes

[@xqp5503]

Yes

[@MrDukeSilverr]

It’s because this feels genuine, not like diversity for the sake of it

[@a.t.m873]

Robin Williams is a legend forever

[@davidglover1854]

I'm not sure Nathan Lane has ever surpassed his role as Albert in this film, he managed to overshadow Robin Williams in this one.

[@literally4891]

never seen angels in america?

[@stanleydavis7904]

Modern family

[@CourtneyPielok]

Absolutely HYSTERICAL film. IF You've not seen it, you MUST watch it. Right THIS SECOND.

[@zacharysiple629]

I watched this for the first time on Oct. 13th. (So, almost 7 months ago as of 5/9/23.) It's now one of my favorite comedies and one of my favorite movies in general. It's in my Top 10, in fact. Believe it or not, my PASTOR recommended it to me a year ago. He loves Robin Williams, so this is actually one of HIS favorite movies! :0

[@somethingvisceral2003]

As a straight male who has no desire to see Bros (it looks moronic), and according to the guy behind it I'm homophobic because I'm not rushing out to see it, The Birdcage is one of my favorite films of all time. I absolutely love the chemistry between Lane, Williams, and Azaria. This movie is hilarious. It is wonderfully written. It is perfect.

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

I came to watch this again based on the failed Bros film mentions in the media recently. I saw this at the cinema as a straight 16yr old teen back in 1996. One of the all-time great films, and I wanted to reconnect with this amazing piece of art.

[@clairefraser7200]

Why was bros a flop ?

[@r4h4al]

Are you sure you're straight? Hehe.

[@mrzoqoshorts]

​@@r4h4al yeah.. pretty sure he'd know

[@davaotripsters]

The original voice of Genie from Disney's Aladdin and Timon from Disney's The Lion King, Nathan Lane and Robin Williams featured in a main role of this MGM film, The Birdcage. And in fact, that Disney and MGM had a licensed deal was named after Disney-MGM Studios theme park and later renamed as Disney Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Florida. Robin Williams is a great legend, but sadly, he passed away way back in 2014. And this film is also a remake of the original 1979 film, La Cage Aux Folles also produced by United Artists and the same company who also produced The Man with No Name trilogy.

[@andywinslow9638]

How Robin didn't win an Oscar for this, I'll never know.

[@marilynaicardi1860]

Nathan Lane and Hank Azaria also deserved Oscars for this movie. All three of them are BRILLIANT!!

[@Unfluencer]

williams, hackman, azaria, west, flockhart--and nathan lane steals the show. one of the best acting jobs in hollywood history.

[@vladimir8365]

Amazing acting, humor and beautifully done.

[@Lighting_Desk]

An utter classic.

[@ZoeReed-bp5ws]

This movie was a masterpiece ahead of its time. They don't make movies like this anymore.

[@huckxblueberryfan]

I remember that movie when I was little and I didn’t know it was rated R!

[@davaotripsters]

And it is rated PG-13 / R-13 in the Philippines by MTRCB for this film, The Birdcage (1996).

[@huckxblueberryfan]

@@davaotripsters Nice

[@Wasserkaktus]

It was rated R for the era: There is no way this Movie would be R by today's standards.

[@huckxblueberryfan]

@@Wasserkaktus indeed

[@1Cheytown]

Only reason it got rated R back then was because of the language. Today it'd be PG-13

[@paolounreal4101]

You can try to see the original french film: it was great , too ! La cage aux folles.

[@Pinkdiamond12]

Such a funny movie. This could never be made now.

[@y2kenh]

bc he's dead?

[@JayLim-bn9fh]

@@y2kenh cancel culture

[@andywinslow9638]

I actually think it could

[@nikivella1159]

Yeah cause conservatives would ban it sadly

[@robynvandebussche5077]

I love this movie. It's hilarious 😆.

[@lyudmilasaksonova7421]

Love it!!! My favorite movie of all time!!!!

[@ZENGARDEN898]

Mine too I actually watched in the theater. It was funny other people who were watching other movies came into the theater and watched the birdcage instead. Usually I buy digital movies not with the birdcage I wanted the disc

[@ExtremeKnexRides]

Saw this film last year on the way to Orlando stumbled on it by accident on the flight what a fantastic film cant believe ive never heard of it.

[@davaotripsters]

It was reuploaded by MGM Studios KZbin channel way back 6 years ago and it was updated with the 2021 MGM logo.

[@kaym.h.3583]

R.I.P Robin Williams 💖 you were amazing!

[@silverranger3532]

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen.......many times !

[@DeborahRacks]

YESSS 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@memoi6308]

Wonderful movie. Wonderful cast all over but Nathan Lane really stole the show.

[@kattyegerm]

Robin Williams being fabulous again...

How am I just finding this movie in 2024??

[@chrisgonzalez2778]

How is it 2023 and Im just now discovering this, a Robin Williams movie I havent watched yet!

[@milhouse14]

We want a sequel!

[@heidipienaar1892]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 🎉

[@shanandersson1779]

I would really like to see through MGM films library.

[@KairaSuperSayan93]

I just finished watching this and I laughed like a Hyena the entire time

[@nickwilliams9887]

Robin Williams was true gold!

[@vitodereine]

You guys know this movie couldn't be made in 2024

[@anne.m9484]

The movie is an adaptation from a French comedy wrote in the 70's call La cage aux folles

[@philmzbyphred]

This film has the genie and timon in it. Clever.

[@cecilebondon3105]

this is a remake of the french movie "la cage aux folles". I just discovered they did an american remake !

[@moviesbye9294]

Hey, it's Ally McBeal

[@LDsupporteachother]

Best movie of the nineties! I remember seeing thinking back then as a child Florida must be a magical place. Now with the “T” word it’s ruined

[@roberthcorrea980]

Eterno Robin Williams.

[@anneofcleveswithinternet]

This is an lgbt film done right ...

[@C.Church]

Imagine a world you can tell a flamboyant man he isn't a woman, and he contains his trauma over it to a little dramatic pearl clutching and that's it! I miss these days.

[@cjdavis2684]

The only thing that really bothered me about this movie was I thought the son was incredibly ungrateful, the way he treats his father's partner who helped raise him is despicable. And I just really found myself hating the son's character

[@mariabeatricesorrentino6455]

I watched for the the first time in 1996 I’m still laughing as once!! Hilarious, fantastic movie!!

[@dawnbell7826]

you have really spoken up!

[@lavindir17]

This movie was HILARIOUS! But not for children. Just like in real life.

[@yw9238]

Do you guys know it’s originally a french play then an italian movie? Look for “La cage aux folles”

Actually Robin did accidently fall in that scene and Mike Nichols had one strict rule during filming....Robin and Nathan had to give him one legit take of the script on film before being allowed to improv..
