Karsoncookie Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Try this one - 8.4 on IMDB. 8.4. In Top 100 ever made.(IMDB) In my Top 5. Watch with your entire Family, then discuss. Gregory Peck - "To Kill a Mockingbird". http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056592/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Life lessons abound. Great example of how children learn from their Parent's (Father, in this case, Mother has Passed) actions. Watch it from the young Daughter's perspective, as narrated. Precious lessons. Available on Netflix, at least. Lars Edited June 30, 2016 by Karsoncookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadog Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 My HS senior had to read the book last semester for a Literature course. I think he read it, but I did notice the movie in the Netflix "Recently Watched" category (and to think, we used to have to buy the CliffsNotes!).

derrickdj1 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Excellent movie. We watched in some Behavioral Science classes in college. The Lost Weekend with Ray Milland was also a memorable flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 My favorite movie was McClintock with John Wayne. IMDB doesn't like it much with a 7.3. Gotta love this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I had to watch "Twelve O'Clock High" with Gregory Peck for a management course in college. Apparently, Peck's character demonstrated excellent situational leadership style in the movie (so said the professor). Peck was a great actor no doubt.

Paducah Home Theater Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I thought the book was better. What most casual readers and movie watchers won't pick up on is that the book is actually multiple levels deep, it stands up to the heavy scrutiny from the humanities professor crowd which is why it is so popular among the critics. It's a favorite book to teach because of this. You think you know the story but there's a metaphor under the surface. Dig some more and there's another metaphor under the surface of that. It's pretty wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
