Yes I was a little desperate last night. Nothing on to watch. The Sundance channel was running old Alfred Hitchcock movies. I had seen most of them, many times. "The Birds" came on and I caught the last half of the movie. Now I will be very afraid to go and check the bird nests in my yard.

Not really. But it was kind of funny to see a Hitchcock movie again. Psycho came on after, and I watched a few minutes of it. Do you have a classic movie you enjoy over and over?

The Birds (1963) - IMDb

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. With Rod Taylor, Tippi Hedren, Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette. A wealthy San Francisco socialite pursues a potential boyfriend to a small Northern California town that slowly takes a turn for the bizarre when birds of all ki

I remember those movies. I don't have a favourite. Last night we watched Matt Helm with Dean Martin. Hubby couldn't believe he ever found that entertaining.

I used to love watching the Bela Lugosi Dracula movie with my mom when I was a kid. Scared the crap out of me, but I loved every minute of it.

@CarolDM I remember that movie. Very scary. Did it make you weary of birds in a pack after watching it?

I always really like the Omen with the late, great Gregory Peck. I saw that in the theater when it was first out..and being in the day after that was like a vague sense of unreality. I saw the making of The Birds..that was as freaky as the movie.

It is a good one, except I should have waited until my birds were gone in the yard.

Never really liked the Birds. When it comes to old films, I do like film noir, not quite that canon, I really like The List of Adrian Messenger
