Mad as Hell!!?? The way we are... This movie gets better with age (and more prophetic).

Network represents one of the finest films of the New Hollywood era. It also exhibits the outcome of excellent writing, directing, and acting.

GREAT movie! "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" I've wanted to open my window and shout that out myself! Who hasn't?!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the stellar acting performances in this movie. It's over-dramatic in the best sense possible.

Some of this doesn't hold up but a shocking amount of it does. The 70s style hyper-naturalism in certain scenes (especially between Dunaway and Holden) feel far more new than most contemporary films. Ned Beatty's rant on "primal forces" is overlooked and some of the best writing in film. It stands toe-to-toe with the famed "mad as hell..."

Its scary...I think they showed this movie to all the employees at Fox News before they went on the air!

A brilliant movie that talks about the enslavement of humankind through the Tele-vision. Everything that comes out of that tube is "our" reality. It talks about how the corporations and money govern the world today. A must watch.

This movie foreshadowed, among other things, the rise of both reality TV and news as entertainment.

I rented this movie for laughs (having seen only a few strange clips) but was impressed with what I saw. Great movie.

A sensational and practically flawless satire that's essential viewing for anyone interested in media. One of the best Sidney Lumet films, too--and considering what else he's directed, that's really saying something.
