Not only a great movie made from a great book - one of the most faithful adaptations in film history. That book and movie can almost be considered the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the 1960s Civil Rights movement, as well.
To this day, it is prohibited for Louisiana Bar Exam takers to use "Atticus Finch" as their fictious name (if you fail - if you pass, they publish your real name... eventually ).

Book was never supposed to be about Civil Rights. Movie was.
The book was about Atticus. The trial subplot was four chapters or so.
Book took place over three years.
ETA: having said that, it was the perfect story to be made into a Civil Rights movie.
