On June 1, a slew of Hitchcock classics will stream on Netflix for subscribers in the U.S. The selection includes Vertigo (1958), Rear Window (1954), Frenzy (1972), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Family Plot (1976), and The Birds (1963). The movies will join Hitchcock's seminal 1960 horror film Psycho, which is already streaming on Netflix.

One of the movies you can stream from the 1st of June happens to be my favorite Hitchcock film, The Birds. Even decades on, it's a masterclass in suspense and creeping dread, and I still get the fear when I see more than a few black birds in real life.
