Network (1976)

Scream from your windows

I am amazed at myself that it's taken me this long to discover this film. What a great satirical piece on television, entertainment, and the things a network will do for ratings. Seeing a film from 34 years ago with today's eyes is truly astonishing - Network was, without a doubt, ahead of its time. Many of what's portrayed can easily be related to the state of television today, right down to it's protagonist played by Peter Finch, who must be the inspiration for so many of TV's talking-head pundits.
