To Kill a Mockingbird (1962 Robert Mulligan)

Great film, great performances from everyone, beautifully photographed and edited, wonderful score (I was wondering if it inspired John Williams in his Jaws score).

I was also wondering if it would be an idea to tell Calpurnia's story.

It's funny how the kids frequently disregard their father's instructions. It's not a sentimental film at all - he is just a reassuring and logical parent who calmly reacts to the world around him.

It's not clear but you can't help but think that Tom Robinson was just bumped off by the police rather than 'trying to escape'.

It just keeps on getting better each time we watch it.
