They fly. They peck. They kill.

*The Birds SPOILERS*
Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) decides to go to Bodega Bay to bring some inseparable birds to a man she just met, Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor), and ends up meeting (and befriending) an ex-girlfriend of his, Annie (Suzanne Pleshetter), being accepted into the family by his younger sister Kathy (Veronica Cartwright) and, more grudgingly, by his mother Lydia (Jessica Tandy), while the birds of any species seem to have decided to attack and kill human beings for no apparent reason...
Hitchcock delivers another classic (and one of the inspirations for 'Night Of The Living Dead), with a good cast and a scriptwriter such as Ed McBain.
This has been slated to be remade, too (I'm going to bet that the lead's going to be a kickass single white female - what, is the world going to end if a man is the lead of a horror movie?) but seeing how the Studio who plans to do this (Platinum Dunes) has done 1 remake good of 3 (not very encouraging), I'm not gonna worry; it'll never be as good as this original.
The Birds (1963): 10/10.
