en.wikipedia.org Howard Beale (Peter Finch) delivering his "mad as hell" speech. In one impassioned diatribe, Beale galvanizes the nation with his rant, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" and persuades Americans to shout out their windows during a spectacular lightning storm. Soon Beale is hosting a new program called The Howard Beale Show, top-billed as a "mad prophet of the airways." Ultimately, the show becomes the highest rated hmmm trying to remember which show this reminds me of ???... oh yes! I remember now... Cramers "Mad Money" -g-

'Network' - 1976 Movie Quotes: "I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!" "You dress like a tube. You eat like a tube. You raise your children like a tube. You even think like a tube." "This is not a psychotic episode. This is a cleansing clarity." "We'll tell you anything you want to hear. We lie like hell." "They say I can sell anything. I'd like to try to sell something to you." "The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime." "Television is not the truth! Television is a goddamned amusement park!" "The American people want somebody to articulate their rage for them." "I want counter-culture. I want anti-establishment." Network is a dramatic satire whose acclaim has gone beyond its time because of the prophetic nature of its satire and the outstanding acting of its stars. Network has continued to receive recognition, decades after its initial release. In 2000, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In 2002, it was inducted into the Producers Guild of America Hall of Fame as a film that has "set an enduring standard for American entertainment."[1] In 2006, Chayefsky's script was voted one of the top ten movie scripts of all-time by the Writers Guild of America, East. In 2007, the film was 64th among the Top 100 Greatest American Films as chosen by the American Film Institute, a ranking slightly higher than the one AFI gave it ten years earlier. It was nominated in all four of the acting categories, winning Best Actor (Peter Finch); Best Actress (Faye Runaway); and Best Supporting Actress (Beatrice Straight). en.wikipedia.org
