Network
The wiffe and I just finished watching Network, a brilliant anti-television jeremiad. Tell you what: 1976 must have been a great year for movies. Not only did the greatest sports movie of all time, Rocky (though I'd be willing to hear a case for Hoosiers and the original Bad News Bears), win Best Picture; Network won Best Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. Not that the Oscars can always be the best guide, but I think those folks did a pretty good job here.
