We
love birds, but in the movies we tend to fear them. More bird related
movies are horror than comedy, but there is a mixture of both in our
bird list. Funny, scary feathered friends: here are the best bird
movies of all time:
1
– The Birds (1963)
Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece horror thriller about birds taking
over a town.
2 – Surf's Up (2007) excellent animation about Penguins (and a chicken) on a surf spree
3 – The Raven (1963) based on Edgar Allen Poe's tale, starring Vincent Price and Peter Lorre.
4 – Ladyhawke (1985) A beautiful woman becomes a hawk during the day, while her lover becomes a wolf at night. They are cursed to never be in human form together.
5 – Legend of the Guardians: the Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010) impressive animated effects.

– The Crow (1994)
Brandon Lee's final film
