Both the book and the movie and Gregory Peck certainly did it justice as did the entire cast.

So much to absorb, but one thing you can grow to appreciate after multiple viewings is the quality of all the performances ie Brock Peters as Tom Robinson and Collin Wilcox as Mayella Ewell. She was so convincing that when she showed up at a NAACP meeting in Monterey one time people were apparently more than a little freaked out:

My daughter named her dog after characters from her favorite films. Dogs name is Bailey Boo...Bailey for George Bailey “It’s a Wonderful Life” and Boo for Boo Radley “To Kill a Mockingbird”....

This film has always been relevant. But I would encourage everyone to watch it now, as it touches on so many of the factors we’re facing. And it is a painful...of that I agree as well! The acting is superb!

On my TOP 10 list of all times

but will make a point to watch. Didn't realize it's been on netflix all this time. There should be a classics category to find old gems like this.

I was happy to find it! Hope you watch it and would be interesting to see what you think.

It IS hard to believe you've never watched it before. (Then again, I've probably not seen a lot of movies that people would be surprised at.)

trying to catch up. Always open to suggestions!

"Amazing Grace and Chuck"

It's hard to find. It's REALLY sappy (but I think "sappy" has a place in this world).

I looked on my tivo app, and it's on amazon prime.

It’s been decades since I’ve watched it, or To Kill a Mockingbird, but both films are well worth the time. Sally Fields’ performance as Norma Rae is amazing. I need to watch both again, though it’s sad to see that we’ve regressed with respect to race relations and the value of unions.

And Sally Field .... what a performance. Just mesmerizing.

Sometimes we call Atticus Catticus!

Great movie. Very moving.

Did you notice Robert Duvall in it?

(or so I've heard).

Gotta love that guy. "Tender Mercies" was wonderful.

being from a different era.

My favorite moment on film.

Heroes don't always wear capes.

which of course has been MANY times.

IMO, heroes rarely wear capes.

a staunch Democrat in real life and a supporter of human rights.

"Peck was outspoken against the Vietnam War, while remaining supportive of his son, Stephen, who fought there. In 1972, Peck produced the film version of Daniel Berrigan's play The Trial of the Catonsville Nine about the prosecution of a group of Vietnam protesters for civil disobedience. Despite his reservations about American general Douglas MacArthur as a man, Peck had long wanted to play him on film, and did so in MacArthur in 1976.

In 1978, Peck traveled to Alabama, the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird, to campaign for Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Donald W. Stewart of Anniston, who defeated the Republican candidate, James D. Martin, a former U.S. representative from Gadsden.

In 1987, Peck undertook the voice-overs for television commercials opposing President Reagan's Supreme Court nomination of conservative judge Robert Bork. Bork's nomination was defeated. Peck was also a vocal supporter of a worldwide ban of nuclear weapons, and a lifelong advocate of gun control."

I was a very young child. It's one of my very favorite movies....

I remember going to the auditorium and watching it with several other classes.

It is still on my watch list, every time I see it is airing.

American classics. I immensely enjoyed both.

My high school literature teacher shared the movie with the class.

And super innocent at the same time.

Great Book and Film. A rare adaptation

... I both read the book and saw the the movie, and found the movie to be much better.

The book is a bit tends to paint Atticus as some sort of superhuman, but Gregory Peck managed to turn him into a believable human being.
