The Birdcage

Probably should have put. this in the "What are you watching..." thread.
Anyway - watched The Birdcage for about the 15th time and it still delivers.
it might even be my favourite Robin Williams film.
Top performances, fantastic lines & some great slapstick - all round good fun.
Snobs will tell you the original French version is better.
Ignore them.

Love this. Nathan Lane's in his element. The only time I can remember Robin Williams in danger of being upstaged. I believe Steve Martin was originally down to costar with Williams.

Sounds like we all dodged a bullet there.
