neutral · AI labelView post →In honor of the 30th anniversary of The Birdcage, I wrote about only some of the brilliant layers of its confrontations of gender performance. Truly, The Birdcage is an exceptional and important film for our moment for challenging bigots who can't wrap their minds around differences in human nature
positive · AI labelView post →Watched The Birdcage again the other night. Perfect movie. I want to put Val in a food processor

neutral · AI labelView post →We’re watching The Birdcage, one of my favorite movies. The late Gene Hackman got the best line in the movie: “They don’t make women like that anymore.”
positive · AI labelView post →Among many brilliant performances in Gene Hackman’s career is his turn as a conservative Senator stuck in a drag bar in The Birdcage (1996). The Birdcage was a rare LGBTQ-centred Hollywood studio movie, made at a time of far greater and widespread homophobia. It topped the US Box Office for 4 weeks.

positive · AI labelView post →Movie viewing tonight will be The Birdcage for Mr. Gene Hackman 💚
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying The Birdcage, fav Robin Williams Film?
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my all time favourites The Birdcage is a special movie for a dozen reasons- one being the irreplaceable chemistry between Nathan Lane & Robin Williams. We’ve lost both Robin & Gene Hackman, which makes revisiting this film even more powerful. I’ll always love this film. 🎥✨😎✨💙✨🤣✨
positive · AI labelView post →I watched 4 movies yesterday and the only one I keep thinking about is The Birdcage. What a warm, loving, hilarious and witty film. So many different types of comedy within it. Real heart. Excellent performances. I just loved it so much. And Robin Williams' performance was so generous.
positive · AI labelView post →I had to choose a favorite gay movie on the spot and i couldn't decide between The Birdcage or Cabaret so my brain split the difference and I said The Producers
neutral · AI labelView post →The Birdcage, purely because it was what my parents had rented and finally deemed I could watch an R movie
neutral · AI labelView post →While the film the Birdcage ['96] is definitely a film of the 90s. I actually think it's rather important for modern queers to give it a watch at least once.
positive · AI labelView post →To my queer movie-watchers out there, does the Birdcage starring Robin Williams still hold up in your opinion?
neutral · AI labelView post →Without saying The Birdcage, fav Robin Williams Film?
neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman greatest performance as a Senator from Ohio in The Birdcage. You couldn't make a movie like this today because of wokeness.
positive · AI labelView post →The Birdcage franksfilmreview.com/2026/02/27/t... If I need to be uplifted, I re-watch The Birdcage for a good laugh. For me, it’s pure cinematic comfort food — a film that just never fails to put a smile on my face. There’s something infectious about the controlled chaos... #FranksFilmReview
neutral · AI labelView post →The Birdcage might be the greatest film ever made
positive · AI labelView post →My partner and I just had pizza and watched The Birdcage! Absolutely hilarious film! 💙
positive · AI labelView post →Review / The Birdcage (1996) (revisiting Robin Williams catalog). (revisiting Robin Williams catalog) Mike Nichols' *The Birdcage* is the American remake of *La Cage aux Folles*, with Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a gay couple running a drag club in South Beach. When Williams' son brings home his fiancée whose parents happen to be ultra-conservative politicians (Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest), the setup becomes a classic farce: can this flamboyant household pass for "normal" long enough to…
neutral · AI labelView post →The Birdcage (1996) being the magnificent movie it has always been
positive · AI labelView post →We’re enjoying “The Birdcage” for Movie night. This 30 yr old film is classic. #HappyPride
positive · AI labelView post →Really really lovely piece on The Birdcage, a movie that has problems I acknowledge but I think I have a more tender interpretation of it (as a queer person.)
neutral · AI labelView post →We just watched The Birdcage (1996) and wow for a movie that was ahead of its time when it came out, it has really aged like milk
negative · AI labelView post →I think my favorite Gene Hackman film is Unforgiven, but he was so good in so many, and such varied, roles. Crimson Tide, The Conversation / Enemy of the State, The French Connection, Hoosiers, The Birdcage, … One of his movies I haven’t seen highlighted is Get Shorty; he was fantastic in it. RIP.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now if the movie sucks ass and the crowd is largely aligned on going bozo mode, different story. But talking your way through a movie, whether it’s opening weekend for Oppenheimer or a revival screening of The Birdcage or Fargo, you are veering into deeply antisocial behavior that sucks for everyone

positive · AI labelView post →The LP/MD release of @barrytopping.com's phenomenal Birdcage OST arrived today, and @pnwpotato.bsky.social knowingly hits me with the: "Aren't regional key arts wild? The Japanese import of The Birdcage looks like a completely different movie!" Marry the funniest person you know, imo.
neutral · AI labelView post →Attending #TCMFilmFest this weekend? On Saturday, I'm introducing The Birdcage alongside Dave Karger, and on Sunday, I'll be signing copies of Hollywood Pride alongside other TCM authors. Hope to see you there! #filmsky 📽️
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Gene Hackman (Pictured: The Quick And The Dead) What an actor. The Conversation, The Royal Tenenbaums, The French Connection, Unforgiven, The Birdcage, Hoosiers, Crimson Tide… and the first film I ever saw him in, Superman. He’ll always be my Lex Luthor. See you in Otisburg, sir. 🫡

neutral · AI labelView post →Probably my favorite Robin Williams movie. My first exposure to Nathan Lane. 🤣 The Birdcage 1996
positive · AI labelView post →Ok but imagine they ask him this and he literally just describes the film The Birdcage (1996).

positive · AI labelView post →This morning I jokingly compared my cats Darwin and Wallace 🐈⬛🐈⬛ to Armand and Albert from the Birdcage film (1996) and now I cannot unsee the paralells.
neutral · AI labelView post →The film set the standard for 1960s “caper comedies,” blending luxury settings with slapstick chaos. Thinking of films like: TOPKAPI CHARADE THE PARTY DIVORCE ITALIAN STYLE THE BIRDCAGE #TCMParty #ThePinkPanther ^JW

neutral · AI labelView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Phantom of the Paradise, one of my favorites, got the songs stuck in my head again. Star Trek, I prefer the TV shows, but it's a fun flashy remake. Me & Roboco, lots of jokes about Jump manga. The Birdcage, I had seen bits on TV as a kid, loved Nathan Lane in this.
positive · AI labelView post →Honourable mention to The Birdcage, but mainly because he let Nathan Lane steal that film, whilst still delivering a top notch performance.
positive · AI labelView post →Like I’m sorry, what the fuck movie did you watch? Because it wasn’t the Birdcage?
negative · AI labelView post →Group consensus is that we need a new film a la Priscilla, The Birdcage, To Wong Foo, etc starring Rhys Darby IMMEDIATELY
neutral · AI labelView post →If you have the chance to see The Birdcage on the big screen, TAKE ADVANTAGE I am biased bc it is probably the most formative film of my life but being able to see the amount of emotion Robin Williams and Nathan Lane put into their performances on that scale? Genuinely life changing
positive · AI labelView post →Bought tickets to see The Birdcage, Showgirls, and Cabaret in theatres. I love being gay! I love movie theatres!
positive · AI labelView post →A lot of people have talked about Gene Hackman in The Conversation (because it's such an amazing film), but why aren't people saying more about The Birdcage? These are the two films my mind goes to first when I think of him.
positive · AI labelView post →*psst* The Birdcage is a remake of a better movie, one that doesn't have white Hank Azaria once again pretending to be another nationality for laughs.
negative · AI labelView post →I feel like you can have ONE of The Birdcage OR Mrs Doubtfire if you have to pick a kind of 90s don't say gay transphobic white American film, but not both. And opening up by being rude about costume dramas (clearly a dig at Portrait of a Lady on Fire) is just ignorant.
negative · AI labelView post →I would like to promote the funniest movie maybe ever made, The Birdcage. It has the highest comedy pedigree you could basically have — Elaine May wrote it, Mike Nichols directed it, and Robin Williams and Nathan Lane are the mains, along with Gene Hackman who is hilarious in it but upstaged.
positive · AI labelView post →Without saying The Birdcage, fav Robin Williams Film? That's an easy one. It's not even close.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Birdcage, a film I've not watched since understanding my own gender more, and it is hitting VERY differently than it used to
