Description

We're flapping our wings as we discuss a cinematic classic: Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 avian horror film, The Birds. Is this movie scary enough to leave us thrashing in our sleep or are the special effects so dated that we were chirping in jest?

Rather than red, this movie left us seeing green. Chosen thanks to their green color schemes, here are the suggestions for Episode 4: 

a) Amélie

b) Parasite

c) Y tu mamá también

Let us know which one you'd prefer by responding to our survey on either:

Please respond to our survey no later than Thursday, March 4th by noon ET.

As always, let us know how you feel about The Birds. Do you agree or disagree with our ratings? What is your favorite moment in the film? What scenes our images have left their mark on you?

Finally, here are the sources for the bird related photography at the beginning of this episode:
