The British Film Institute should remaster The Birds at great expense.

Then we could compare the old DVD from 2000 to the remastered version on B-rD in 'Which BD provides the biggest Difference to the DVD Version?'.
Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect]

From their site "£100,000 - can secure the full restoration of a single feature film" isn't there a Hollywood big shot willing to donate that? Spielberg, Clooney, Bay??  Anyone?

£100,000 doesn't seem much to preserve some old movies, and i'm sure there are a lot of Hollywood resident's who could miss £100,000. Just buy one car less

I can imagine some of them make a 100,000 in interest a day.
