One of the greatest comedies ever made. It only works thanks to Nathan's chemistry with Robin. Bravo sir.

When Lane finally decided to 'come out,' he waited until someone asked him point-blank: "Are you gay?" his response? 'I'm over thirty-five, I live alone in Manhattan, I own three small dogs, and I do musical theater for a living... YOU FIGURE IT OUT!"

Having seen La Cage Aux Folles, I was expecting The Birdcage to be a disappointment especially because I hadn’t heard of Nathan Lane when the movie was released. But then I see this guy steal every scene when sharing the screen with ROBIN WILLIAMS. Fan for life.
