The Birdcage

We have to spare a moment for The Birdcage, which put comedy icons Nathan Lane and Robin Williams opposite each other in a surprisingly touching dramedy about a gay couple who run a drag club and their son who's bringing his fiancée's conservative family to meet them. Although it doesn't feel groundbreaking looking at it in 2020, when it first debuted, it earned serious praise for depicting a gay couple and their family with more nuance than stereotype.
