Is THE BIRDCAGE not the best version of them all?
I think it is.
I love The Birdcage. I want to marry Agador.
"What are you doing, giving him drugs?
It's aspirin, with the A and the S scraped off.
My God, your brilliant!
I know."- Agador and Armond.
"The Birdcage" is one of my all-time favorite movies! So many great one-liners:
"Bob Dole is *gorgeous!*"
"You're taking your toothbrush to the cemetary. How Egyptian."
"Your money's on the dresser, Chocolate."
"I can't wear shoes because they make me fall down."
"May I take your coat, as usual? Or for the first time?"
"Somebody has to like me best!"
"Barbara, I realize you want to get married, but how many lives do you have to ruin in the process?"
"I'm the same person, except with one tiny difference. Well, not *tiny.*"
We Are Family!
Not to mention it has Christine Baranski in it. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love that woman.
Loved her when she took over for Stockard in HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES at Lincoln Center. She's great in Jeffrey too.
Same director as the upcoming SPAMALOT?

Oh heavens I think this may call for a double feature, the original La Cage, with a follow up of The Bird Cage!

What is "The Vulgar Coleman"? Some quote from the movie?
I thought this thread was going to be about raunchy Cy Coleman songs.
Its a line from the movie where Albert, dressed as the mother, tries to explain why everyone pronounces their last name differently.
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!
