Quotes
Add a QuoteScout: "Jem is up in a tree, he said he won't come down until you agree to play football with the Methodists."
Atticus Finch: I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird. Jem: Why? Atticus Finch: Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncrib, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us.

Add a CommentJust a classic. Period. Take the time to watch the bonus features. Gregory Peck was an EXCEPTIONAL human being by any standard. I went from being a fan to having the utmost respect for him. Such an interesting guy!
Director Robert Mulligan's monumental classic of half a century ago, and arguably the defining moment of Best Actor Gregory Peck's career. Cradled in Elmer Bernstein's poignant score, this film is a masterwork. And anyone who doesn't or can't appreciate black and white cinema is a clueless dolt. That is all. FIVE STARS.
As is often the case, the book was better. That being said, the film was still good, just that the novel was preferable. Perhaps it was the limitation of black-and-white film that couldn't convey the colourful characters of Maycomb County. However, I felt the serious tone during some scenes (the trial, the climactic final scene) was done tastefully.
This movie is super good;p
this movie was pretty good- the acting was great. i wasn't sure if i liked the story line as well, it's a tad boring but very realistic.
One of the greatest movies ever made. Peck gives his best performance, the cast and direction are ideal, and the story is timely even today. It complements the original book perfectly.
A true classic that should be watched by families. I loved it when I first saw it way back when, and it is just as beautiful, moving and brilliant today.
Amazing movie, very well done. Great acting and very well writen. I recomend this if you are interastent in law or classic movies.
A++ for the book To kill a mockingbird and A++ for this Motion picture. Gregory Peck as so gets a A++.
One of the best movies I've ever seen. READ THE BOOK! IT'S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't be thrown off by it being black and white. A lot of people I know won't give the movie a chance because it is and black and white, but it proves to be more than just a piece of entertainment.
