First and foremost, these continue to be a both fun and thought provoking…and a big push to go back and look at the films again. I think you managed to define the thing: “The Birds” is a thriller without a plot. A pure distillation of what moves a story forward…without many of the conventional elements we associate with storytelling. For an audience, this might be Hitchcock’s most demanding film. An image popped into my head when you mentioned “Psycho” was the last film of the 1950s. There’s proof of that in the film when Janet Leigh pulls into the used car lot to swap cars. She walks along the row of cars and her p.o.v. shows all the license plates were issued in 1959.

I am delighted that you agree that there is no Year Zero. 1960 was the end of the 50s, the same way that 2000 was the end of the 20th Century.

Found the Night of the Lepus video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf430PYol5k It's never a good thing when a horror movie makes you start singing Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel.

Really good video. First time I watched ‘The Birds’ it was a really hot summer day. So I left a small fanlight window open to get some air when I went to sleep. I was woken in the morning by a bird perched on the ledge pecking at the Venetian blind. Never happened before or again. The only other film that has a similar score is ‘Rumblefish’ Stewart Copeland was heavily inspired by Hermann’s score.

Watership Down has some pretty nasty business there in the Battle of the Bunnies!

I consider the Birds a horror story and film with a dose of sci-fi. I believe it was one of the first adult horror stories that I read when I was 8 or so. It has a lot in common with Night Of The Living Dead. Speaking of music score, another innovative score is the one from Forbidden Planet by Bebe and Louis Barron and the innovative use of the theremin by Miklos Rozsa in Spellbound,

I don't want to give my age, but I remember reading the short story in the mid-70's and I considered the movie a classic then. Many others thought so too. I was weened on Hitchcock. I read all of the Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators books and a number of fiction compilations edited by Robert Arthur and featured the use of Hitchcock's name in the title of the book, Alfred Hitchcock's Ghostly Gallery being a favourite. I still have all of those books.
