Learning to Drive (2014)
Starring Sir Ben Kingsley and Patricia Clarkson
Directed by Isabel Croixet
Wendy (Clarkson) and her husband Ted (Jeff Weber) go out to eat and he drops the bomb: he's leaving her for another woman. Things heat up and he leaves and gets into a taxi with Wendy chasing after, angry and calling him out for his philandering. Ted has climbed into the cab of Darwan (Kingsley) and Wendy manages to get in behind him to continue her angry interrogation of Ted, which only gets more intense when he gives Darwan the address of his girlfriend, not his home with his wife. He ends up not being able to take anymore and gets out, but not before giving Darwan money to take his wife home.

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.
