Pretty good.

Fantastically on topic, even 30 years after it's creation, I was incredibly surprised to see that there was more to this movie than "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!". It honestly has one of the best topical stories I've seen in a long time and it's warnings of talking head nonsense news casting was eerily on the money. Great acting a directing all around. It's always pleasantly surprising to find a film like this, known for a cliche but it's really so much more.

Dare I say prophetic? It's funny how comedies are often the best venue for hard nosed observations about the world, and how well we respond to the sharp dramatic edges being smoothed out with a dry few laughs to make it palatable. The monologues in this film have a canny dash of cynicism that will make you a believer, even if you don't know what you're believing in, and I love a film that leaves you wondering.

There are hundreds of reasons as to why this is my favourite film of all time. Simplly put, this is one of the most important films of our times, and the power of it's polemic continues to grow in breadth and relevence every passing year. Not to mention it's ensemble cast is easily the most jaw-dropping in history. No film in history has been as under-rated as this.

As timely now as it was then; a scathing indictment of the TV industry and its propensity towards self-prostitution. The individual characters are startlingly realistic and the acting is excellent.

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" This, not Rocky, should have won Best Picture that year.

It's ridiculous how current this film still is 36 years after its release. Some overlong conversations are a minor bother.

Imperfect, but sublime. Both a scarily accurate satire, and prophetic. You could see this movie as support for the book A Brave New World.

So deadpan you'll be reminding yourself that it's hilarious. Theer clash of emotionality between characters in this movie makes the whole thing so palpable

The best collective performance by a group of actors I've ever seen. From Finch to Duvall everyone shines. Some of the best dialogue I've ever heard in a film also. So many monologues it's hard to pick a favorite. The sheer prophetic nature of the film also astounds me. The whole film blew me away.

It's staggering to think that this film is probably MORE relevant today than it was in the 1970's. The script is phenomenal and the actors are all on the top of their game.

The constant yelling in scene after scene gets tiresome, but I can't say it ever feels over-acted; it's purposely sensationalized to drive the point that its an outrageous satire. The script is really what elevates this to classic status - Ned Beatty's conference room monologue is infinitely watchable.

I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!

Smart, gripping, and surprisingly hilarious, Network has what it takes to pull in any audience and keep them engaged. It has far and away the best writing of any movie, period; monologue after monologue is beautifully delivered with utter perfection, complemented with natural and witty dialogue between the characters. Though the cinematography leaves something to be desired, it - along with the intentional lack of music - adds depth and realism to the story and enhances the movies credibility.

Vicious and eerily visionary satire that hasn't lost a single shred of relevance in 35 years. Brilliant cast, too. A shame about the clunky voiceover that makes it seem like it's an edited version of a longer movie - not that it needs to be - and the massive case of misinterpretation the film inevitably invites.

A hilarious and biting satire that is still relevant decades later. Finch manages to portray an anchor whose monologues are always enthralling while still coming off as completely insane. This entire movie is packed with monologues, actually, which probably wouldn't work save that they are all delivered superbly.
