(R, 1980, 123 min)
Winner of the 1980 Academy Award for Best Picture! Tormented by guilt following the accidental death of his older brother during a sailing accident, alienated teenager Conrad Jarrett (Timothy Hutton) attempts suicide. Returning home following an extended stay in a psychiatric hospital, Conrad tries to deal with his mental anguish. He also tries to reconnect with his mother (Mary Tyler Moore), who has grown cold and angry, and his emotionally wounded father (Donald Sutherland).

Alan Parker’s BIRDY
(R, 1984, 117 min)
Birdy (Matthew Modine) returns from the Vietnam War scarred from the horrific experiences of battle. He is so damaged by what he saw that he has shut himself off from reality completely, imagining that he is actually a bird. Birdy is confined to a mental hospital, where the doctors are at a loss as to how to treat him. In an attempt to help, Al (Nicolas Cage), his best friend from high school -- and who was also in Vietnam -- visits him every day to try and get through to him.
Viewer’s Guide: Depiction of animal cruelty (dogs and horses)
