I read the book in English class first, but the movie really moved me. I especially found the music and imagery of the opening credits very memorable. That and Boo Radley.

every character.

And Atticus. And Dill. And......

However, the most amazing and prescient line in one was this:

"Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men it admires."

Life out of Balance.

The original film, with John Wayne and Kim Darby. I really identified with Mattie Ross.

I learned that it was okay to be smart, and not to be afraid to stand up for what I wanted. I also learned another valuable lesson…don’t let folks think they can trick you, cause you’re “just” a girl.

That ending!! Brings all those tears without a WORD!

196ish, 1967 probably.

It blew my mind. It was before I dropped acid, but it was a trip!

I saw it in CInerama. I've probably seen it at least a dozen times. Favorite movie of all time.

A little known, and forgettable movie, except for the concept of, Pay It Forward. "the recipient of a favor does a favor for three others rather than paying the favor back. However, it needs to be a major favor that the recipient cannot complete themselves."

Its the closest I come to religion.

I was eight in the summer of 1977 when the film first came out. I was thunderstruck. My parents loved going to the movies, and almost always took me and my brother and sister along. I was never really into movies that much, and was basically along for the ride (literally so when we would go to a drive-in; I usually fell asleep in the back seat.)

But "Star Wars" was different. I felt like it was a story told directly to me, that spoke to me and other kids like me. It sparked an interest in the kind of worlds George Lucas was creating right there up on the screen. It was the first film that made me want to know more about the setting of the narrative, and the people and other beings who lived in it. Obviously, the Extended Star Wars Universe that followed didn't disappoint.

Most of all, I loved the dichotomy between what we would think of as a "futuristic" setting, and the notation that the story happened "A long time ago..." I immediately grokked that what was the future for us might be a long time ago in a distant galaxy.

The cynical and world-weary will happily point out that Star Wars is simply the biggest cash cow of all time, a merchandiser's dream. But I'm content to view it as a series of stories about people (and robots, and non-humans) who are remarkably like us, and are fun to watch on screen.

But awed?

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

I think I saw it when I was about 7/8 - early 80's.

They looked like my parents.
