We have another serious drama this week with Robert Redford's Ordinary People. It won Best Picture for 1980. Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and Timothy Hutton star as a dysfunctional wealthy family in the Chicago suburbs. Judd Hirsch plays the psychiatrist helping Hutton's character with his depression. It is #48on our Best Picture Countdown.* Enjoy!

*What is this list?

We explain it in more detail in our Trailer and its Description, but as a high-level answer: we aggregated several different lists that rank the ninety-four winners of the Best Picture Academy Award in a rough attempt to get a consensus. It is not intended to be rigorous or definitive. It's just a framework to guide our journey through cinema history.
