The Birds
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
A powerful, terrifying study of paranoia and hysteria in the wake of unexplained chaos, THE BIRDS is one of Alfred Hitchcock's most iconic films. It all begins rather innocuously, as a beautiful, strong-willed socialite (Tippi Hedren, in her film debut) travels to the coastal town of Bodega Bay to hook up with a rugged fellow (Rod Taylor) she's only just met. Once there, however, bizarre things start happening. The birds, you see, are behaving strangely...Using impressive visual effects and creating some of the most iconic and famous staging of his career, Hitchcock delivers one of the most chilling and entertaining classics of all time.
Tippi Hedren as a beautiful blonde who, with her fiance, must fight for her life against a deadly force that can't be explained-or stopped.
Cast: Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy

You have to remember that this is based on a short story, and these movies were more dialogue-driven back then.
iconic movie by an iconic director! one of the few horror movies that scared me when i was very young, along with jaws. for you young people out there, the glass booth she got into was called a phone booth. you put a quarter in the slot and made a local call. lol
Always a favorite on my list
a movie so good you ignore the ridiculous premise and the zero explanations for what the hell is happening. Hitchcock was an asshole, but he made damn good movies. 3 Skulls for making everyone in the world think of this movie everytime you see a flock of birds on a power line.
not bad bad very cheese movie to watch
