To Kill a Mockingbird from 1962. Here is a synopsis of the movie:
Through the eyes of "Scout," a feisty six-year-old tomboy, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD carries us on an odyssey through the fires of prejudice and injustice in 1932 Alabama. Presenting her tale first as a sweetly lulling reminiscence of events from her childhood, the narrator draws us near with stories of daring neighborhood exploits by she, her brother "Jem," and their friend "Dill." Peopled with a cast of eccentrics, Maycomb ("a tired and sleepy town") finds itself the venue of the trial of Tom Robinson, a young black man falsely accused of raping an ignorant white woman. Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem's widowed father and a deeply principled man, is appointed to defend Tom for whom a guilty verdict from an all-white jury is a foregone conclusion. Juxtaposed against the story of the trial is the children's hit and run relationship with Boo Radley, a shut-in who the children and Dill's Aunt Stephanie suspect of insanity and who no one has seen in recent history. Cigar-box treasures, found in the knot hole of a tree near the ramshackle Radley house, temper the children's judgment of Boo. "You never know someone," Atticus tells Scout, "until you step inside their skin and walk around a little." But fear keeps them at a distance until one night, in streetlight and shadows, the children confront an evil born of ignorance and blind hatred and must somehow find their way home.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is his best acting, but you may also enjoy Gregory Peck in "The Big Country" where he's in the middle of a range war, or in "The Gunfighter" where he plays a real gunfighter named Johnny Ringo who just wants to hang up his guns. These are his best westerns!
He was very good in "Cape Fear" with Robert Mitchum as the convict out for revenge against Peck and his family.
And of course "Twelve O'Clock High" was his best war movie by far!

I agree with answerer number 1: To Kill A Mockingbird.
No doubt about it!

It HAS to be To Kill a Mockingbird
The Omen was good, but it's not on the same level...
