""The Birds" is my favorite Hitchcock film and I think it's largely because it is his most surreal and supernatural picture which contrasts with his being the most meticulously realistic directer ever in terms of what you see on the screen. No horror film with the possible exception of "The Shining" draws as much power from everything looking so real and normal. Also, "The Birds" is one of Hitchcock's funniest movies although the pervasive humor is mostly subtle."
