"Two Thumbs Up!" - Siskel & Ebert
Soar to new heights in this spellbinding movie starring Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage. To escape an irrational world, Birdy (Modine), a Vietnam veteran, sits in an almost catatonic state in an Army hospital, where he has come to believe he is one of the feathered creatures of his boyhood dreams. In an effort to break Birdy's silence, his psychiatrist brings in Al Columbato (Cage), Bird's loyal best friend of his youth. Al desperately tries to reach the disturbed Birdy and bring him back to reality. The answer may lie in their youth, where the eccentric Birdy first donned wings and the happy-go-lucky Al helped him to fly.

I first watched the film "Birdy" several years ago. I was in my young days as a reviewer and I watched it mainly to hear the soundtrack that was done by Peter Gabriel who was a favorite of mine.
I watched the movie but didn't really understand what it was. I just heard the music and went on my way.
Years later, I treated the film as a curiosity. By my recollection, it really wasn't that good of a film to warrant release on DVD. I figured it was more of a historical piece as
