Gregory Peck
He was great as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, which I believe is the best film ever made.
He was also very good in films like, Twelve O'Clock High, Captain Horatio Hornblower, The Guns of Navarone, Arabesque, Moby Dick and The Boys From Brazil, to name a few.

Why do you believe that, Kid? share
Because all the facets of filmmaking came together perfectly.
First, there was a powerful story in Harper Lee's novel which was adapted into an excellent screenplay.
The directing was top notch.
The acting was superb by everyone involved -- the lead, supporting, and especially the children.
The cinematography was excellent. Some object to the fact that it was a B&W film, but I believe that that only adds to making it a more perfect period piece.
The editing was excellent as well.
Finally, the score was extremely moving. It hit all the right notes -- it was light when it was supposed to be and tension-building when it had to be.
I'd say that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the best films ever made. I'd say that it belongs up there in the top ten.
As for Gregory Peck, I have heard that Harper Lee was blown away by Gregory Peck. She said that he reminded her so much of her father.
I understand that the movie was Peck's favorite of all of the films he ever appeared in.
A tie between Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance.
shareI don't generally keep at just one. I like Gene Hackman, Arnold and Sly. Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Lee Marvin, Bruce Lee, James Stewart, the DUKE!, Clint Eastwood of course..so on and so forth. It just depends on the time frame and what I am in a mood for. Hell I suppose I admire how William Shatner has stayed relevant well into his 80s.
shareNice to see so much love for Peter Cushing in this thread.
shareI do enjoy me some Hammer films and Amicus. He and Christopher Lee often brought a lot of class to a film, even it if had a silly premise. I even enjoyed his appearance in Top Secret!
shareMe too, I particularly enjoy those Amicus anthologies, I wish there were more.
I've just rewatched The Ghoul too after first seeing it decades ago on tv, almost impossible to get on dvd.
Did you see any of the Hammer House of Horror tv series? Children of the Full Moon, Charlie Boy etc?
