To Kill a Mockingbird

Release: December 25, 1962

In Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930's, Scout Finch and her brother Jem are just innocent children, but they are about to grow up and change to witness something special. Their lawyer father Atticus believes they should live in a town where racism and hate are not present and all should be treated equally. He is later the one to be the lawyer in the case of a black man accused of raping a white girl. Based on Harper Lee's novel of the same name, this film is considered one of the greatest of all time and has been preserved by the Library of Congress as being historically or culturally significant.

Quotes

Calpurnia: "That boy is your company. And if he wants to eat up that tablecloth, you let him, you hear? And if you can't act fit to eat like folks, you can just set here and eat in the kitchen."

Scout: "(Voiceover) Neighbors bring food with death, and flowers with sickness, and little things in between. Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a knife, and our lives."

Atticus Finch: "If you just learn a single trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."

Atticus Finch: "I remember when my daddy gave me that gun. He told me that I should never point it at anything in the house; and that he'd rather I'd shoot at tin cans in the backyard. But he said that sooner or later he supposed the temptation to go after birds would be too much, and that I could shoot all the blue jays I wanted - if I could hit 'em; but to remember it was a sin to kill a mockingbird."

Jem: "Why?"

Atticus Finch: "Well, I reckon because mockingbirds don't do anything but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat people's gardens, don't nest in the corncrib, they don't do one thing but just sing their hearts out for us."
