The Birdcage - The Best Of Albert Goldman

[@KasbashPlays]

Nathan and Robin are absolute superstars in this film, but Hank Azaria as Agador is an undeniable delight in this.

[@garethsmith3036]

But?

[@boleperishon5272]

I know people love Azaria, but I still feel like he's incredibly underappreciated. The body of work he has is simply amazing

[@nischalrana1666]

I thought it was Agador Spartacus?

[@sandrajones1609]

My 🍉 watermeloness🤭

[@l.j.goldstein8143]

we agree to agree Hank should've been Oscar-nominated fur supporting and he would've won..."It's de shoes!" His best performance he'll never top.

[@janinaleedelrio]

Nathan Lane should've won an oscar for this role

[@acadarin1409]

Leading. In this day and age, he would have been at least nominated. I know he received GG and SAG noms

[@deadmandirector3]

Agreed. I laughed my ass off for like more than half of the film 🤣 He’s a Brilliant Actor

[@georgehenderson7783]

He didn't win an Oscar for this brilliant performance?!

[@roguesheep3083]

His reaction to "i made you short?" Kills me everytime 😄

[@MGongopadhyay]

I totally agree with you dear

[@alexlawton351]

When he gets into the car and screams gets me every time.

[@summeroflove394]

Alex Lawton that’s one of my favorites! 😂

[@caitlinthomas1527]

Alex Lawton I almost laugh to I cry!

[@livashlin]

My favourite part of the film 😂😂😂

[@delennamachoo]

The toast piercing and the Pirin tablets are the two scenes that get me the most.

[@blackswan4486]

Me tooo!!!!!!! I used to imitate that to my mom all the time!

[@bermerubio]

I can´t believe that Nathan Lane didn´t win an Oscar even a Nomitanion for this role!!

[@desisarod]

javier bermejo this is a really really good movie!!!

[@jamesmcinnis208]

I had a nomitanion for breakfast this morning. Great with cream cheese.

[@andywinslow9638]

What about Robin? Seriously I can't believe he wasn't gay after watching this.

[@alaly1027]

Gay characters didn't get Oscars in the mid 90s unless they were tragic. Like... dying from AIDS.

[@Bootmahoy88]

I quite agree. I've heard a number of people say his performance as a queen was cliche. Well, all I could say to that is that I have known quite a few queens who would disagree. I think his performance is finely nuanced and balanced. I see a full human being there.

[@brooksashmanskas4516]

Nathan Lane is the best, sadly is so underrated in Hollywood. Love him.

[@josephadiaz8343]

Nathan lane you are an awesome actor and an awesome person, love you to pieces buddy 😊❤️🙏✌️😎

[@PissyLissy]

Ikr. Plus, he plays Max Bialystok in the Producers remake. He's oober talented.

[@andywinslow9638]

We have the same birthday.

[@azvascos7542]

Can't forget Nathan as Timon in Lion King and he was awesome in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton too.

[@1Cheytown]

And in these 2 hours I fell head over heels for Nathan Lane. He is sooooo good that you can see this film 500 times and he will make you laugh EVERY DAMN TIME

[@antonraterman2281]

Nathan lane floored me away with this performance. I love when an actor can do this, it is what acting is all about. Those that get the perfect role. Others are Merly Streep, Kathy Bates

[@49lucky]

Nathan lane is good in anything he does....

[@GulDukat479]

I've tested this theory and it's true! 🤣🤣

[@aec9174]

Albert - "I'm this short, fat, middle-aged THING!!" Armand - "I made you SHORT??" My favorite exchange in the movie - always cracks me up!!

[@FortunateJuice]

Me too. So many great lines in this movie.

[@hannahrobinson1728]

And the pirin tablets… it’s my all time favourite film…

[@happycat3399]

Mine too! Absolutely brilliant!

[@ShowtunesbyJenna]

"No good?" "Actually, it's perfect. I just never realized John Wayne walked like that."

[@Lucifera1011]

Too funny walk... and after that I wet myself in the cinema.

[@monmothma3358]

Possibly movie's best line!

[@valdr2286]

He really do be walking like that

[@GeometricMason]

Nathan Lane was a genius in this... and Robin Williams shows his genius in being able to perfectly play off of him.

[@chrismiccolupi2506]

Rumor is when the director told Robin Williams that is Nathan lane was his co-star Robin replied "Nathan Lane really he's perfect."

[@shevahauser1780]

Lol robin williams couldve done it as well lol ! It says how great he is, that he can stand up to rw as his costar

Albert Goldman is my spirit animal.

[@Pashasmom1]

I adore Nathan Lane. He's adorable, can sing and act and is hilarious. Happy vibes are always good.

[@virusts]

Nathan Lane not nominated in this for an Oscar is a travesty.

[@danielmorgan3590]

I really believe so too

[@MrBenzed]

I couldn't agree more. Perfect comedic timing. His expression of dismay at the "robbed" apartment is one of the funniest things I've *ever* seen. But, then again, the "Oscars" have tended to overlook comedy, ever since "It Happened One Night"

[@andreo.7633]

I see wat u did there travesty

[@azenkwed]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@rmhenneberry]

I went to high school with Nathan Lane in Jersey City. This is one of the funniest movie's of all time.

[@millercreativestrategiesll8863]

When I worked with Gene Hackman, we talked about his role and he winked about it. I know how much fun he had.

[@angelabolton4478]

He was so good in this. Really the entire cast was amazing, but Gene playing it for laughs was a revelation. Who knew he could do comedy?

[@bombermanefx]

[@michaelcoluccio2097]

[@sassbrat]

if I heard this right but when Hank Azaria watched the playback of his role he said something along the lines of this, "Oh my God, I sound like my Peruvian Grandma' Or along the lines.

[@HisameArtwork]

I find it hard to believe that the voice of Homer Simpson ever was attached to such a fit body. total cognitive dissonance.

[@CourtneyPielok]

Absolutely HYSTERICAL film and JUST as BRILLIANT.

[@pushbikecam9921]

No matter how many times I watch this movie it never gets old. You know it's a classic when you remember most/all quotes.

[@jamesricker3997]

It's even more relevant today. With all the stuff that is going on in Florida and this movie is set in Florida.

[@lauraryan8921]

Can't get enough of Nathan Lane. That man and his facial expressions are one of a kind

[@ShowtunesbyJenna]

"Albert, you pierced the toast. Soooooo, what?" You're right! There's no need to get hysterical, all I have to remember is that...I can always get more toast!!!

[@carolinethompson2690]

Just Nathan Lane screaming for five straight minutes. 🤣🤣🤣 “I pierced the toast!” I can’t stop laughing.

[@ripp846]

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Nathan steals it. RIP Robin.

[@seolferrosa]

“I pierced the toast!” My mother loved this line.

[@MrBenzed]

The wonderful Nathan Lane, Robin Williams and Hank Azaria - at the top of their game. A real instance of where the re-make ('The Birdcage') received greater critical and public acclaim than the original French version ('La Cage Aux Folles")

[@mckennalester2248]

I agree with you the orignal was fantastic they did a wonderful job they picked people that were extremely manly drama profesional play people as armond and Albert. My only problem with the orignal is the son is like 18 getting married

[@grannywillow5252]

What's funny is Nathan was still "in the closet" at this point, yet he played flamboyant like a pro.

[@nebularain3338]

It was probably a milestone for him personally. I don't think he's like Albert in real life, but to be able to go to that part of him and really amplify it must have been quite liberating.

[@AT-st5dr]

Is Nathan gay and out in real life?

Robin Williams knew and did all he could to keep it secret because Nathan wasn't comfortable coming out publicly.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

He said on a recent interview that he had been out since he was 21, but didn't want to talk about it on Oprah and have any attention taken away from the movie. Everyone knew that he was gay anyway.

No matter how many times I have watched this movie he cracks me up SO hard, I'm talking tears running down my face, I have to use my inhaler laughing. 😂😂 I don't know how his co-stars got through it. I would have had to do a million retakes and probably get fired for laughing.

It's too bad there's no compilation for Armand. Robin Williams was a genius, but his character had such wit. One of my favorite lines was when Albert was about to leave and was being very dramatic, and referencing the large crucifix that had been brought in during the redecorating, Armand says "Shouldn't you be carrying the cross? It is *the* prop for martyrs" lol
