This one was definitely a winner in my book. Peter Finch is hilarious as Howard Beale, the angry television host who prompts everyone to share in his lament: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore." The depiction of the corporate television industry paired with the off-beat shows that succeed - especially the "Ecumenical Liberation Army" series is just hilarious. My favorite twist is when the CEO character leads the outrageous Howard Beale to believe that he is some sort of higher power. All in all how outrageous this movie is just makes it more fun to watch!
