Network
Network is the 1976 black comedy satire film directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon) and written by Paddy Chayefsky. The film follows a fictional US television network that tries to raise its struggling ratings by giving their mentally unstable news anchor his own commercial prime time show to express his rants. The cast includes Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Robert Duvall, Ned Beatty, and the late Peter Finch, whose infamous "I'm mad as hell" rant in the film is remembered to this day. Network would go on to receive four Academy Awards: for Best Screenplay (Chayefsky), Best Supporting Actress (Beatrice Straight), Best Actress (Faye Dunaway) and dual best actor nominations for William Holden and Peter Finch, with Finch receiving the Award posthumously for his performance.
