I'm Mad as Hell

Sometimes I feel like Howard Beale. I love seeing great rants on film. This movie is pretty ridiculously awesome. Its seemingly satirical. You might be thinking, the only movie revolving around the news that you would want to watch is Anchorman. Well, while Anchorman is a hilarious movie, this is a hilarious movie that makes you think. Full of dry dragnet type newscaster voices, a crazy power hungry woman moving to the top, and the mental breakdown/englightening of an old man jaded by the media, this movie must be watched. Its set in the mid-late 70's and seems controversial. here's just a couple scenes... the first is him cracking on the news. the second is the exploitation of his cracking, in the form of a network television show.
