Ordinary People (1980)

With Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, Judd Hirsch, and Timothy Hutton.
Directed by Robert Redford.

I haven't seen many of the films from the late seventies and early eighties aside from the big ones like Apocalypse Now.  Ordinary People has always been kind of the big one, the Best Picture winner from the year before I was born that was never on TV as i grew up and really isn't mentioned when people talk about great movies   Even the tltle, Ordinary People, is   kind of extraordinary in its ordinariness.  I decided awhile ago to put it at the top of my Netflix queue and this weekend I sat down to watch it.
