Summary: Collector's Edition...Definitely! Hours of Enjoyment!!
Review: I've reviewed the VHS version. But I purchased a DVD player recently and this was my first movie. There are hundreds of movies I don't want nor need on DVD. (I want most to have some special significance/FX or scenes you "need" to replay over and over i.e., Top Gun, Jurassic Park, Twister, Men in Black, Independence Day) Mostly and fantastic about this DVD; another complete version with Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Pakula doing a detailed commentary through the entire film. Put on headphones and it feels like you're in the middle of the two guys chatting about friends you all knew years ago! Very Cool (Not for a first or second time viewer) I also enjoy how each talks about different characters, Jim Anderson (Bob Ewell), having had a real "backwoods mentality" problem with everyone in the movie, (being so true to his character.) This never surprised me, but Phillip Alford (Jem) remembers the many "physical" takes that hurt when he and Bob Ewell tangle. How Anderson took his part WAY TOO SERIOUSLY!!!! Also Phillip recounts the way Scout, (Mary Badham) bugs him through the entire movie about his lines.....funny to hear about all the trouble they had behind the scenes, but how much fun it was doing the film to begin with. Get the DVD; you won't regret a moment or a dollar spent. What more can I say? Nothing.

Summary: Beautiful movie
Review: What a lovely movie... I'm not big on old black and white movies, but this one took me by surprise. The story is truly beautiful and touching, and the movie transports you right into this sleepy little southern town. The movie impressed me as being sensitive and touching without being "loud" in any way. Everything has a sense of "quietness" and simplicity. Unlike many good movies nowadays, there isn't anything highly dramatic or loud, but the movie comes across very well nevertheless. This movie is like a delicate watercolor with the faintest and most delicate hues --- unlike some other good contemporary movies which are analogous to heavily and brightly colored oil paintings. The choice of black and white to shoot the movie (I didn't realize that it was the directors discretion at first... I thought the movie was just really old), Gregory Peck's restrained performance, and most of all the lovely kids, Scout and Jem, and although he has a very brief role, Robert Duvall as Boo Radley, all contribute to this effect.

Summary: Do not pass up this truly excellent movie.
Review: "To Kill a Mockingbird" teaches morality in an emotionally engaging story better than any other book or movie with which I am familiar. Watch it with your children several times. It is appropriate for adults and children who can handle stories involving racial prejudice. Harper Lee, and everyone involved with this movie, have blessed us all with this gift.

Summary: The Best!
Review: This is without a doubt my favorite movie, even though it was made long before my time. We read the book and then watched the movie in my high school English class. I fell in love with it. It is so wholesome and refreshing compared to the movies made now. This is definitely a movie for the whole family. I would also highly recommend the book.

Summary: A Perfect Film Version Of A Classic Novel
Review: Gregory Peck stars in this near perfection film adaptation of a magnificent novel. Atticus Finch (Peck) is a district attorney assingned to defend a wrongfully accused black man of the rape & assult of a young white women. All during the main plot Atticus' children Jem & Scout discover the truth of rasicm, & the mysterious nieghbor Boo Radley. The film has to be considered one of the greatest dramas ever made, & what makes the film even more enjoyable is that is family oriented.

Summary: Timeless Classic
Review: I am an 8th grade girl, and I was assinged to read To Kill A Mockingbird over the summer. At first, I thought it was quite boring, but then it got interesting, and I couldn't put it down. I hate to read, and this is a book I would read over and over again. The movie is just a great, and Gregory Peck is just incredible. Scout and Jem were fantastic as well. I would recommend the book and movie to anyone. I would also like to add that these reviews aren't a joke, and this book/movie should be appreciated, as it is the best book I have ever read, and the best movie I have ever seen.
