The Birds v. Vertigo

I have a Hitchcock v. Hitchcock today. I've heard positive and negative things about both. Some people I know have said 'The Birds' is outdated and some say its amazing. I have a few people that tell me 'Vertigo' is fantastic and I have a couple of friends who say it is laughable. So, here's today's match up-

The Birds

Vertigo

the birds is very well crafted, and to truly understand the film is what makes it so great, the significance of the birds... but vertigo is far more suspenseful, and james stewart is fantastic, so my vote is for vertigo

I really didn't like Vertigo...go with The Birds.

"Vertigo" is a brilliant thriller. The performances are believable and the moments of climax are unexpected, surprising and impacting. You also enter the story pretty fastly.

"The Birds" is simply more of a horror film. It gives you chills and impacts you. The suspense is amazing and the film has no music which gives it a more mysterious touch.

If I were you, I would see both of 'em.
