THE BIRDS is a true classic. I have a great childhood memory from my first viewing. My buddy and I (we were both 8 years old at the time) went to a Saturday matinee showing of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959). This was in '63 when THE BIRDS first ran. In those days, you could buy a ticket for a daytime matinee and just stay in the theater all day & night if you wanted. My friend's mother told him, whatever you do, don't stay for THE BIRDS. That movie is Not For Kids! Well, needless to say, we loved HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and also stayed for THE BIRDS (bad, little boys we were). We really loved that and went home and acted out the whole movie.
