Better Movie is back and better than usual. We've got three victories for Jaws now. Can the spunky great white finish the job or will it just fall on its knife?

To Kill a Mockingbird wins this one for me. Atticus Finch would send that shark packing with one right hook.

I didn't care too much for To Kill a Mockingbird book or movie

Went with Jaws. I liked the book version of To Kill a Mockingbird, but I was indifferent to the film. I didn't dislike it or anything. I just think reading the book first ruined me for the movie.

Always thought Jaws was rather boring and To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the few classic movies I enjoyed so this is a no contest.

I cannot vote against the greatness that is Gregory Peck. He is the king of man.

The legal nerd in me went for To Kill A Mockingbird. One of the 3 best legal movies ever. Jaws is more fun to watch, but To Kill A Mockingbird is a very powerful film that really got to me.

What are the other 2 best legal movies? 12 Angry Men? The Verdict?

I'm partial to the legal movies of the Spencer Tracy variety. Inherit the Wind and Judgement at Nuremberg are both fine movies.

The Chamber was also very good (I liked it at least)

The original 12 Angry Men was pretty good. Didn't care for the Tony Danza version.
