TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (1962)
No forest critters or sing-alongs here, but Mockingbird remains an educational favorite. Set in the Deep South during the Great Depression, it tells the story of noble lawyer Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck) and his highly charged defense of a black man, Tom Robinson (Brock Peters). Kids can easily identify with Finch's daughter, Scout; the movie unfolds through her eyes and teaches lessons on race, class, gender roles, and the death of innocence.
