I can't improve upon anything any of the other reviewers have said about this wonderful film. I can, though, tell you how I felt watching this masterpiece. I was at once drawn into the piece, lured by the absolute tenderness portrayed by Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, as well as by the gentleness of the children. Even in the face of adversity, our protagonists strayed not from their beliefs. This was this first time I had seen this film, having only recently realized that the classics are an almost inexhaustible source of both great comedy and tragedy. While I like many modern films, sometimes it's nice to see a great story unfold without the ILM touch.

One of my absolutely favorite classic movies. Gregory Peck has never been better as Atticus Finch--perfect casting in the lead role. This was truly a film filled with stellar performances and direction. Very highly recommended--have your kids watch too, it's one of the most inspirational movies mine have ever seen.

Ok ok. If you have never seen this film (or read the book) please rent this movie. It really doesn't matter if you are an old fart or a dumb-as-dirt teenager, take the time to watch this film. Watch it HARD. Pay attention. If you give yourself over to this work, you will be changed, and for the better.

To Kill a Mockingbird is a great movie and book. Before you watch this movie, you must read the book! This movie expects that you read the book so it doesn't introduce some characters like Aunt Alexandra. The movie didn't show has much as the book explains. Most of the minor details in the book were cut from the movie and the major plots of Boo Radley and Tom Robinson were the center of the movie. Gregory Peck talks exactly how the book describes Atticus. Most of the other actors and actresses did great. I have never seen Robert Duvall has young and creepy before. Overall, the movie is great, but the trial almost made me fall asleep. Remember, read the book before watching the movie!!

Five stars for the movie, two stars for the DVD. One of the greatest films ever made, based on one of the most engaging books ever written. But beware - the DVD shipped to me was not anamorphic, and it doesn't look good on my 16 x 9 HDTV. I'm tempted to either buy the newer anamorphic release, or wait for it to come out on Blu-ray.

BunnyKing:

I think this movie stays relatively close to the original story. Peck is the perfect choice for this role and he does his usual classic job. If you've never read the book, you should definitely see this movie soon.
