Me too!

I've watched it so many times when someone says a word like "well" (and pauses) or some normal everyday word, I think of lines from the movie and start laughing!

Like when Nathan says,"well, one must have a little color." as he points to his pink socks.

I tell my kids guess what I'm watching tonight and they know I'll say the Birdcage lol!

Everytime I see it it's like the first time. I also like Mrs Doubtfire.

@Judaline,

I don't think I would like Tom Cruise in person but The Firm is a really great movie. Gene Hackman so good in this too.I never get tired of it either.

@on the bayLOL, I quote dialog from that movie ALL the time. It truly is my favorite. So funny and well written. Seen it a million times and will sit through it a million times more. If I'm channel surfing and it's on, I watch whatever point the movie is at.

I love Mrs. Doubtfire too. "A driveby fruiting". LOL

@Queen of shop,

Lol! Oh my gosh, "a drive by fruiting" is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote Mrs.Doubtfire!

You couldn't take us both anywhere!😂

@meallen616,

Sister Act is another good one! I never get tired of that one either.

Miss Congeniality is good too with Sandra Bullock.

And The Last Holiday with Queen Latifah-I love her in that.

Splendor in the Grass, starring Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood. Directed by Elia Kazan.

It never fails to trap me if I happen upon it. Irresistible, especially if I catch part of the following scene as I'm skipping over channels. It is the one in which brokenhearted Deanie Loomis (Natalie Wood) is forced to read from Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood."

Deanie's boyfriend (Warren Beatty) has been stolen from her by the little trollop that sits in front of her in English class. A good girl, Deanie would not "give in" to Bud (Warren Beatty) but the girl seated in front of Deanie did -- she even set out to trap Bud. When Deanie has a meltdown, it tears at your heart.

The movie is a sensitive study of leaving behind the innocence of youth.
