In Search of Myths and Heroes 

I like discovering something new among the old and Tubi has an assortment of horror films from cinema's past for just such an occasion.

Perhaps the most amazing and groundbreaking quality about The Birdcage is how removed it is from both illness and insensitivity. Whereas films preceding it were often somber stories about the tribulations of being gay in a conservatively straight world, Nichols and screenwriter Elaine May expose the fallacies of conservatism as traditional values are thrown into a more open-minded space.
