THE BIRDS (1963) - 119 mins
'Melanie, a rich socialite, follows Mitch, a lawyer, to his home in Bodega Bay to play a practical joke on him. Things take a bizarre turn when the birds in the area begin to attack the people there.'
"Genuinely disturbing thriller classic from the master of suspense." [Kim Newman / Empire]
MARNIE (1964) - 130 mins
'Mark Rutland (Sean Connery) is a customer of one Mr. Strutt, whose business was robbed by his secretary, the mysterious Marnie Edgar (Tippi Hedren). When Marnie applies for a job with Mark, with the intention of stealing from him, Mark -- who is obsessively in love with her -- blackmails her into marrying him.'
"It is a film of such complexity that, after three viewings, I feel that I have hardly begun to understand it, but each time, new layers of meaning have revealed themselves." [Ian Cameron / The Spectator]
