One of my favorites was when Nathan and Robin had that little spat at the beginning where they went "It's like you know everything because you're a man and I know nothing because I'm a woman" "You're not a woman" "Oh, you bastard" It cracks me up every time.
I was watching a David Bowie Show from like the 2000s. The 1st movie I thought of was Bird Cage. I felt like I had just watched that movie! Now that was a great movie👍.
LOVE Nathan Lane!! Brilliant and loveable ... and I have always found him to be gorgeous because the wonderful who he is seems to shine through every role he does. A real smiler!!
Armand: "John Wayne! You're a big fan, walk like him." * walks like John Wayne * Albert: "... no good?..." Armand: "... Actually, it was perfect. I just never realized John Wayne walked like that..."
@@Mxyzptlksac Me too. Let's say it's a waste not to see a talent like him with a better role on screen. I'm sure if we wrote him a great role, he would get the Oscar easily (like with Mark Rylance, and other theater actors).
The Birdcage is my favorite movie of all time. I only wish they could make a sequel (or two). Nathan Lane was hilarious and very endearing as Mrs. Goldman (Coleman?). :)
Oh yes... Coldeman. The "d" is silent in America. It's Cole D'Isle au Man, or Cole of the Isle of Man, in France, where Armand's chateau is, Cold-e-man in Greece where Armand's work is, and finally the vulgar Coleman in Florida where Armand's home is, so actually, we don't know where we are until we hear our last name pronounced! Ahahahahahahaaaaa!
Love Nathan and Robin , what a great combination. Love the movie and everytime I think of it I see Gene Hackman in drags singing " we are family " .. hahaa

I saw Nathan Lane in NYC many years ago. I never had the opportunity to meet him, but I was close enough to hear the interaction between he and those to whom he was speaking. He seemed so genuine, natural, kind, funny. I’m a fan.
The First Wives Club is one of a greatest movie I have seen. My husband and I took the kids to Disney on Amtrak and our car. Me and my daughter-watched this movie together and my daughter was 4 at time and now 27. Today, we still sing the song from First Wives Club at the end. That movie has lots of memories.❤️😘😂🤣🙏❤️❤️💯
I was SO fortunate to see Nathan Lane on Broadway in A Funny Thing Happen On The Way To The Forum! He was filling in for Whoopi Goldberg the night I went, and I remember somebody’s cell phone went off, and he broke character to address it, and the entire crowd busted up laughing, and then he went right back to his scene. It was amazing and a moment I’ll never forget. :-)

OMG! 😂😂 BIRD CAGE!!! Is one of my “go to, feel good movies” I’ve literally seen more than 30 or 40 times. I always always laugh and find new favorite parts. I think the piano “I could have danced all night” scene is one of my favorites as well as Starina’s (Albert) meltdown at rehearsal, yelling try more gum” to the young dancer who is aggravating him. Apparently the gum chewing “helps him think” LOL 😂😂 classic!
I watch The Birdcage over and over. For me his funniest line is when Val tells him, It will like all be OK when you get back and he says, Back? Where am I going? Just the way he says it with his hand over his chest it kills me every time.
I love that line! There’s so many little gems of lines, i actually just watched it today( it’s free on TH-cam ) and I think it’s the part where agador is upset at Albert leaving and is buried in his shoulders and Albert tells him he’s leaving him his stereo( noo!) his red boots( I don wan em) and my wigs( whech whigz?)
@@anthonyhebisen Hank Azaria was so great in that role. He actually came up with him tripping over his shoes he said it will be funnier if we do it 3 times because 1 or 2 is funny but 3 is gold.
I find myself hypnotized by Nathan Lane's independent eyebrow action. They each have their own style and expression. How the hell does that happen?? 🤣💕

Birdcage is my all time favorite movie! Whenever I’m on a plane heading for vacation it’s the movie I watch or if I need a pick me up it does the trick every time! Everyone was perfect in their roles...Nathan and Robin were superb!
Nathan aged well over the years just watched the Producer on Netflix after seeing him in Birdcage other then Robin Williams he's the only other comedian that can make me laugh

We love you Nathan Lane! BIRD CAGE still makes me laugh til I can't stop and my ribs hurt!! The actor who plays the "hot Guatemalan" had me in hysterics! Your character in the movie so real and so precious!! You nailed it!! And you had to have the last word (or sound) at the wedding in the church and at the end of the movie. So happy you are doing so well and keeping busy with your gift of talent. That has to be the reason why YOU LOOK SO GOOD, DARLING!!
Nathan, you guys were the BEST. I bet y'all had the time of your lives and have great memories. Nathan, I'm thankful for you and have loved your characters.

So glad that Mike thought of Nathan...he was perfect in his role as indeed all actors on this movie were. One of my favourite movies of al times and so very funny. Gene's reaction when he finds out Albert is a woman....makes me fall to my knees laughing every time.

This isn't something I'd normally say, but the Birdcage was much better than the original movie, La Cage aux Folles. It's gorgeous and fun, makes me laugh and feel sentimental at the same time. Bravo!
Bandomeme: Herman’s score, like the one for MAME, would have added warm and yes, honesty, especially “I Am What I Am”. And unlike who was cast in the title role in MAME, you had two guys that have voices, personality, interpretation, didn’t require Vaseline on the lens and knew how to wear makeup; they could have nailed it. But even w/o songs (except one for Baranski and Williams by Stephen Sondheim) it’s a riot. [SCREAMS] “We’ve been robbed!”

that was a great movie👍.
The awkwardness he portrayed as Albert dressed in a suit was a superb piece of acting.
I think Robin Williams and Nathan Lane were superbly perfect in their roles!
My mom and I frequently quote Starina! ❤️❤️❤️
I didn't kill him! He died and left me everything ❤

Nathan Lane what a legend he is the greatest funniest kindest person ever I just love him
LOVE Nathan Lane!! Brilliant and loveable ... and I have always found him to be gorgeous because the wonderful who he is seems to shine through every role he does. A real smiler!!
You could really see them as a couple! His John Wayne walk hysterical! I'll never look at john Wayne the same way again.
Saw John Wayne alive in public many, many years ago and he did walk like that in real life.
Armand: "John Wayne! You're a big fan, walk like him."
* walks like John Wayne *
Albert: "... no good?..."
Armand: "... Actually, it was perfect. I just never realized John Wayne walked like that..."
And the “Howdy ma’am” at the midpoint of his walk was pure genius.
He looks good. It is so refreshing to see someone who is clearly so happy and witty. He's the kind of guy who makes everyone around feel good.
He's so awesome in every genre he plays. Shame Hollywood, Nathan is so underrated (movie or tv show). I love him.
He prefers stage work over movies
@@Mxyzptlksac Me too.
Let's say it's a waste not to see a talent like him with a better role on screen.
I'm sure if we wrote him a great role, he would get the Oscar easily (like with Mark Rylance, and other theater actors).
The Birdcage is my favorite movie of all time. I only wish they could make a sequel (or two). Nathan Lane was hilarious and very endearing as Mrs. Goldman (Coleman?). :)
Although the French movie had a sequel, you can't do a sequel of the bird cage without Robin Williams.

The Birdcage is a masterpiece, and it wouldn't have been that way without Nathan Lane KILLING IT.

I wanted Nathan Lane to be my mother. I still do.
@@phily8093 That is so sweet! ❤️

Nathan Lane is arguably the most charismatic actor working today. Seeing him in anything, including interviews, always makes me feel happy.
Nathan, The Birdcage wouldn't have been The Birdcage without you! One of my favorite movies because you were in it!
The rare case of perfectly casting all the characters in a movie, Williams, Lane, and Hackman were at the top of their game, in particular.
Dear Mr. Lane you are super! So glad to see you. Your talent has made me smile, laugh and cry over the years! Shine one! I

My favorite scene was when Nathan was shaving his face in front of the mirror.
Love the Birdcage & Modern Family ~he was the best recurring guest star among so many good ones
This isn't something I'd normally say, but the Birdcage was much better than the original movie, La Cage aux Folles. It's gorgeous and fun, makes me laugh and feel sentimental at the same time. Bravo!
Then say it abnormally. Wish they added Jerry Herman’s score.
I disagree. La Cage aux Folles was funnier and had better dialogue, most of which they translated and incorporated into The Birdcage.

And unlike who was cast in the title role in MAME, you had two guys that have voices, personality, interpretation, didn’t require Vaseline on the lens and knew how to wear makeup; they could have nailed it.
