Theme from "To Kill a Mockingbird" (Elmer Bernstein)

One of my favorite scores ever. Beautiful Americana theme for a great film and a great book; it evokes so many emotions in me that it gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.

best quote in the movie and novel

I saw this for the first time in English class having already read the book. Truth be told, I wassn't expecting too much from it. I couldn't have been more wrong. This is undoubtably one of those "perfect" films. The story, the music (mainly due to this theme song) and, most of all, the acting, particularly from Gregory Peck (Atticus) and Mary Badham (Scout), is amazing with both putting on two of the greatest performances from any actor/acctress in any film i've seen.

Just an absolute classic.

This is the only movie that had me crying with the opening credits. I so loved the book and the movie. A classic!

Probably the best piece of music every written.

I saw it when I was 12 and it had a huge impact on my life so I understand exactly how you feel.

Just again visited this most beautiful of songs and waxing back to memories of my son, who just turned 18. From Momma feeding him to his glorius transition to manhood . I am Blest.

"Stand up Miss jean Louise..... Your father's passing" , "He gave us 2 wooden dolls, a set of marbles and our lives. Atticus once said you never really know a person til you walk around in their shoes. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough"

I could listen to this all day. It brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful music.
