McKinney Classic Film Festival debuts next month in historic downtown with a courtroom-themed lineup that includes some of Hollywood's all-time favorite courtroom classics such as "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and "12 Angry Men."

The films will be screened Sept. 11-13 at the McKinney Performing Arts Center as part of its inaugural McKinney Classic Film Festival. The center's Courtroom Theater will bring a unique ambiance to the courtroom-themed films, according to a news release.

Ticket holders can walk the red carpet and are encouraged to dress in their finest Hollywood attire.
