To Kill a Mockingbird
While certainly a staple of Southern literature and film, does TKAM really qualify as Southern Gothic?
I'd put All the King's Men up there too, in that case (though I don't necessarily consider Robert Penn Warren a Southern gothic writer).
When I think Southern Gothic, I think Flannery O'Connor, Faulkner, Capote, Harry Crews, etc. It's got to have a little perversion of some kind in there (though not necessarily sexual perversion; could be religious or social perversion).

Shy People
It's not on DVD and never comes on television or cable, but the full movie is on YouTube in segments.
Few have seen it and fewer know of it. Barbara Hershey was amazing

It's about a rape (incest?) case. Since it's through the eyes of a child, it's not going to be explicitly spelled out. TKAM also perfectly hits on the supernatural theme of southern gothic by being from a child's perspective.

Yes. Several of the Grisham movies might qualify. Might even add The Firm. It had that dark undertone, the Mob, murders, the brother in prison, deceit, more murders, adultery. Nothing supernatural, but there was the secrecy behind Bendini, Lambert, and Locke.
I'd add The Firm.
