#13: Ordinary People (1980)

Wow... It's amazing how much a young Timothy Hutton reminds me of a young Jake Gyllenhaal. This was a quiet but beautiful movie. It's also my first time seeing Mary Tyler Moore in a serious role. Donald Sutherland is another guy I always forget was once young. I have to admit I'm surprised this won Best Picture. It's a sweet film about how a family is rocked and torn apart by the death of one of the clan. Today it would definitely be a low budget indie. This was Robert Redford's directorial debut and it's a great one. Although Quiz Show will always be my favorite Redford film.
