The Birds (1963)

The Birds is a 1963 Alfred Hitchcock horror film. It stars Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette, and Veronica Cartwright. A classic, I have this on DVD and re-watch it every year or so.

      HE was such a card lol His intros are as good as the movies. It's no wonder his TV show did well.

    Hitchcock was such a fabulous creative movie maker. However, I like some of his others better than this one, especially "North by Northwest" and both the original AND the remake of "The Man Who Knew too Much."

      I like both "knew too much" films, too. He was a genius.

    One of Hitch’s best. I scared the daylights out of the Young One when she watched it 😺

      I knew someone who was afraid of caged birds from then on. She never did get over it.

    I've been watching some Hitchcock films this month, and I almost watched the Birds today. I went for the Man Who Knew Too Much instead. I've got a couple more I want to see or rewatch, including the Birds. Hope you don't lose power.

      So far, so good. There's a new snowstorm coming through tomorrow. So wild!

    The master of suspense he could make you see things he didn't even show you.

      Oddly enough, I've never seen a Simpsons episode. I'd love to get ravens. We have crows nearby but never on the patio.

    I remember when we made the kids watch "The Birds" with us. Growing up with lots of special effects movies they were saying "this isn't a scary movie!" But they stuck with it (I think they were about 9 and 11) and pretty soon their heads were under the covers and they were definitely a little freaked out! I LOVE Hitchcock! My favorite is "Rear Window."

      I was grown before I saw any Hitchcock. I love Rear Window. The _suspense_!
