Have you marked your calendars for Friday, July 30? That evening, beginning at 8:30 pm EST, Heather at Capricious Reader and I will host a “viewalong” of this 1962 classic film (Sigh. Gregory Peck. Sigh.). We’ll be live-tweeting our reactions to the movie, and hope you’ll join us! Follow Heather with @capriciousReadr, and I’m @tooFondOfBooks; we’ll use the hashtag #tkam to track the conversation.
I’m hoping that many of you can reserve the movie via your library, Netflix, or other rental option (or, maybe you have it in your home video library?!). In anticipation of the July 30 “viewalong”, I’ve purchased a DVD for myself, and one for YOU. Well, for one one you, anyway.
To be entered into the giveaway, just leave a comment below, letting me know whether or not you’ve previously viewed the film. Giveaway will be open until midnight EST on Saturday, July 17; I’ll select the winner in a random draw, and post the name here on July 18. Giveaway is open worldwide (this is a widescreen DVD, purchased in the US; please consider if you have the proper equipment for viewing!).
Update 7/18/10: The winner has been selected; this post is now closed to Comments.
I have seen it, but not since 7th grade (and I’m not going to tell you how long ago that was…)!
Read the book but have never viewed the film; I’d love to win.

I have seen this movie, but I don’t own the DVD myself. I’d love to have it, and be able to share it with my family.
I saw it in 10th grade at school, but I also bought a VHS copy in college. I love this movie and I’d really be thrilled to win the DVD!
I saw the movie many years ago, but have not read the book. It is on my “have to read” list this month.
THanks for the great giveaway!!
I have not seen it, even though I borrowed the DVD from my inlaws.

I am a huge fan of the book and yes I have seen the book and I love it as well!Please count me in!!! Thanks!
Great giveaway idea! I’ve read and loved the book, but have not seen the movie yet. Thanks.
I’ve seen it more times than I can count. I wonder if I saw it in the theater when it first came out (yep, I’m older than the book).
I’ve seen this movie sooo many times, but never tire of it. I think they did a good job following the book, but the book has more to it and should not be missed. One of my favorite novels of all time!! -beth

I haven’t seen the movie but I read the book and really enjoyed it. I would love to win the movie! Thank you for the giveaway!
Gosh, I haven’t seen this movie since middle school when we read the book. what a great idea. I hope the viewalong went well.

Yes,,such a classic..thx for contest
Please let me win I’d love to watch this movie and read the book.
This is a classic movie and EVERYONE should see it!! I’ve seen it a dozen times or more and could watch it again and again. Atticus Finch was like a father figure to me growing up.
No need to enter (I own the VHS) and I don’t tweet but will mark my calendar and watch. What a great way to celebrate both the book and movie!
I think I may have watched this in school, but can’t remember for sure. I’m pretty sure, but I’ve wanted to watch it and have it on my Netflix list!
Surprisingly, I’ve never even seen the film. But please enter me into the drawing with a chance of winning this DVD.
It’s never too late to see a movie that you’ve never seen before. Thanks!
I’d love to see it.
I haven’t seen the movie in years, but after re-reading the book this past weekend, I’d love to see it again. Thanks for the chance to win.
saw it a looong time ago, my dad used to call me scout!
I did see it when I was a freshman in High School, but I don’t remember it that much. I’d love to own it.
