"The Birds" is pretty good until the end. The end is disappointing.
I like "Rebecca". I wonder if her replacement would've been liked more by Mrs Danvers if she was as confident as Rebecca. Her replacement was a bit too nice...a pushover. Mr Dewinter... 
"The Rope" is terrible.

I thought so too, the first time I watched it. However, the ending does not seem so abrupt, and actually provides closure if you assume that the birds frenzy is a sort of projection of the mental states of the women in the town. Much like Rear Window depicts Jimmy Stewarts hang-ups about marriage through the allegorical narratives played out in the adjacent apartment block, the birds are a representation of the emotional states of the women that they surround in a given scene. The reason the Birds are calm at the end of the movie is because Rod Taylor's Mother and GF have peacefully reconciled.

You nailed it in one about the ending of "The Birds". Hence perfect ending in my opinion. Hitchcock tried alternative endings but none work to the same degree.
