2. The Birdcage (1996)

Based on a 1978 Italian film named La Cage Aux Folles, Mike Nichols’ The Birdcage sees a stuffy New England politician (Gene Hackman) who is hoping to escape a scandal by marrying off his daughter to her boyfriend. Little does the guy know, her boyfriends parents (Robin Williams at the height of his comedic power and a brilliantly funny Nathan Lane) are a gay couple who run a gay nightclub in South Beach. When the hijinks gets going in this family comedy, things don’t stop until the credits roll (and Gene Hackman is in full drag).
