Apparently that one is actually the closest to the original novel.

The 1978 one would be the one I saw.

I enjoyed The Birds but like many films I felt that the story didn't feel finished at the point it ended. I tend to like films to have more explanation for their events that it did as well (though I do understand that this was Hitchcock's point).
His 39 Steps is very good. Dated obviously, but still very worthwhile viewing. I don't see any point in checking out any later versions of the story from 1959, 1978 or 2008 (I've heard this one is really bad).

Psycho.
There was a season of Hitchcock films on TV when I was a teenager. Psycho is still the one which sticks in my mind the best. Along with The Birds, I love how the initial story is completely hijacked by outside events. I must check out Hitchcock's version of The 39 Steps. I saw a TV movie version at high school, and have not long read the book. I'd also highly recommend Vertigo, Rear Window, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and North By North West. The others I either haven't seen, or I'm a bit hazy on.

Any Hitchcock fans here? I've recently been discovering his work (seen seven of them so far) and his movies are making me appreciate older movies a whole lot more than I ever have.
I wasn't able to list every film he ever made on a poll limited to 25 options, so I've selected what I believe to be his 24 most known titles and left the last spot for Other choices. I based this list of the amount of total ratings for each film on RYM. I still have many more I want to see, but so far my choice is between Rope, Rear Window, North by Northwest and Psycho. I'm leaning toward Rear Window for now. The other three I have seen are The 39 Steps, Vertigo and The Birds, all of which I would rank only a tier below the other four films. Incidentally, The 39 Steps is currently the oldest movie I have seen and it's single-handed converted me from ignoring older movies to actively wanting to see more of them. I had watched the western Stagecoach (1939) not that long ago, but found the film quality poorer. I think Hitchcock despite only seeing my first of his films last month has already become one of my favourite directors.
