I watched (well, kind of, my attention span is about the same for movies and books and I skip a lot) Mockingbird and Sling Blade. Mair, your descriptions of genre of books and what appeals to you and what doesnt, is a good description for me too. So many of the descriptions, or sets in the movies are familiar...Perhaps that is why I enjoy some more than other, I identify with them. For example, one Halloween I made a complicated tree out of chicken wire, paper and paste. It even had an owl on the branch. I had to walk to school, a good 10 blocks, and of course, I was wearing it....so I identify Strongly, with scout and her ham...
The character in Sling Blade, the justification, the moral decisions represented in each movie would be an interesting discussion all in of themselves.
