Atticus Finch (TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, 1962)

Sometimes being a hero means raising two kids to be good and kind. Sometimes it means fighting the fight no one else will, and it always means standing up for what you believe in. Atticus Finch embodied all of these, and for that reason he is lauded as one of Cinema’s greatest heroes. The film earned 8 Oscar nominations and won 3, including Best Actor.
