One of Hitchcock's best. I remember there was talk of a sequel but it never happened.

'the birds' sort of lost it's fire with me. When I watched it the first time I was really into it but when I watch it now it's just not as intense of an experience for me. Oh well, Hitchcock still rules though.

There already is a sequel, it's nearly 12 years old called "The Birds 2:Lands End". It was made for tv of course so many people are unaware of it's existence still to this day. Decent film but pales in comparison to Hitchcok's original.

Don't get me wrong, I completely love Hitchcock, but this one has never really done it for me. I mean, it's well-made and weird but I too never understood why THIS Hitchcock film is a classic and why this is the one that we have to watch in my Movies in America class, when I would suggest something much better. Hitchcock's character studies are way better and I thought there was just no character study whatsoever in THE BIRDS.
ROPE is the best Hitchcock film - I love that one.

'rope' is a great film you're right about that. I'm surprised it hasn't been remade yet. I think Hitchcock probably put a contractual lock on his films to keep them from being remade because there are so many of his movies that haven't been remade yet surprisingly.

They shouldn't remake it because knowing Hollywood they'd probably turn it into a spinoff of the "House of wax" remake. Just minus the wax house.

As much as they tried to stay faithful, the PSYCHO remake wasn't all that good, and I think it would be damn hard to remake THE BIRDS. Maybe I'm not a big fan of the film, but I still appreciate what Hitch was trying to do and it's hard to recreate his kind of storytelling. BTW, Mr. Horror, I noticed that you were trying to rustle up some new recruits for the site over at MovieThing.com. That used to be my old movie forum haunt for like 3 years.

Yeah it would be a bad idea, just another twisted thriller they *Hollywood* can pass off as a horror movie.

Remaking -The Birds- would be impossible. Audiences have been exposed to so much between then and now, why would birds scare anyone?
