Daphne Du Maurier's thrilling short story is adapted by Hitchcock in this simultaneously terrifying and hilarious romp with avians and Tippi Hedren. The Birds (1963) is a feat of special effects and a rare supernatural turn for the master of suspense.

Jimmy Stewart and Alfred Hitchcock team up again for The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), a classic thriller that will induce anxiety into every parent watching. Doris Day sings the Oscar-winning song "Que Sera" in the unforgettable climactic scene. And some bonus talk about Universal Studios.

Is murder justifiable? Are there inferior and superior beings? Can you hold a dinner party with the guest of honor being a dead body hidden under the food display? Is the perfect murder executable? Can Phillip keep his mouth shut and stop perspiring? All these questions are answered in Alfred Hitchcock's Rope (1948).

Mystery, melodrama, and murder all in one Hitchcock film! What's new? Hitchcock's first and only foray into 3D, Dial M for Murder (1954) has a place in history. And still stresses the heck out of the audience. 

A film for all seasons (but mostly for Christmas!), it's Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)! There's trolleys, telephone calls, a boy next door, a bonfire, and a snow people massacre. In other words, it has it all. 

A film about believing in things just because. A film about Santa Claus. Or is it? The Christmas classic, Miracle on 34th Street (1947).

A man comes to dinner... and stays for months. Monty Woolley takes over the house and there's penguins, Bette Davis, a mummy sarcophagus, and lots of insults. And since it's a Christmas movie, there's a change of heart too. It's The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942).

Look it up, why don't ya! Judy Holliday in her Oscar-winning performance, probably because of that outstanding, abrasive voice. Born Yesterday (1950) is a cerebral Cinderella story where a crook's girlfriend gets an education and a mind of her own instead of glass slippers and a prince. Well, she does get William Holden in the end. So maybe a prince as well.

Welcome to the eternal medieval summer of bravery and romance! Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland light up the technicolor screen with their chemistry in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). It's exactly what you think it is!

It's Rogers and Hammerstein! In Siam! Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr star in The King and I (1956), a film based on a true story that is mostly untrue. Beautiful sets, memorable performances, and the coolest, random-est 20-minute sequence that has nothing to do with the main plot in a movie ever.
