Peter Finch as Howard Beale: Mad as Hell

The enormously prophetic 1976 movie, Network, has never been more relevant. Writer Paddy Chayefsky didn't merely predict the future. If anything he undersold it. If you've never seen the movie, I want you to run to your front door, get in your car, stick your head out of your window, and as you drive to the video store, yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Oh, and just fast-forward through the Faye Dunaway/William Holden romantic subplot. Blecch.

The most famous clip: Mad as Hell



And the response, from Ned Beatty: Primal Forces of Nature
