This movie is a classic Hitchcock .

Rating: 8/10 (4 February 2000)

Scary and classic Hitchcock (Vertigo) movie "The Birds" is a movie that I watched years ago and forgot everything except for those mean birds. I just watched it again and found it just as scary, but also realized that there was no reasonable explanation for the bird's reaction, except that nature is just unpredictable. I thought that the acting was great. I like Suzanne Pleshette (Rome Adventure) as Annie Hayworth and "Mitch Brenner" Rod Taylor (Hong -Kong), and I had not realized until now that Veronica Cartwright (The Witches of Eastwick) was the girl who played "Cathy Brenner" in this movie. Also Melanie Daniels as "Tippi Hedren" was Marnie in that movie also by Hitchcock. I thought it was interesting to see "Jessica Tandy" (Driving Miss Daisy) playing a cold person such as Lydia Brenner. Bodega Bay is a quaint little town and a great location, because Bodega Bay was so quiet until the birds started showing up one by one. My favorite quotes: Melanie Daniels "How did you know my name." Mitch : "A little birdie told me." Favorite Scenes: Hitchcock's cameo walking dogs. Just sweet! This movie is a classic and a must see.
