Enduring classic - watch it every summer

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2001)

One of the few films that can truly match up with the novel. Peck absolutely nails the portrayal of Atticus Finch, the father we all measure ours (and ourselves) against. The supporting cast is nearly flawless, and the black and white cinematography of Russell Harlan perfectly captures the heat and simmering emotions of an Alabama summer. This is one of those movies that deserves to be watched once a year, preferably with your children... and there aren't that many that do.
