Network

My pick for evil movie night and yeah this is still my favorite film oat. Chayevsky's screenplay alone is in my view the best ever put to film; I can't think of any other movie where the dialogue and monologues are this gripping (or better served by the cast!!! Finch is obviously mesmerizing and Duvall/Dunaway/Holden all give career-defining performances but just about every actor from the doorman to the network president delivers their lines excellently). As in 12 Angry Men, Lumet's theater background really shines through in the direction here. Not to mention the message of the film which is scary prescient. Truly as good as it gets
