calzephyrI ended up buying the Alfred Hitchcock bundle on iTunes because it made more sense than buying The Birds by itself. I haven't watched Psycho in many years and even then it would have been a TV edit. I couldn't even remember the ending either for some reason. The Birds feels like a subpar movie after re-watching Psycho. Psycho has its famous score which builds suspense; The Birds has lots of silence which doesn't do much for me. Psycho remains extremely engaging and suspenseful and it almost feels like a drawn out episode of The Whistler old time radio show, particularly when Norman Bates unwittingly throws away a large sum of money.
