**Screenwriter**: Paddy Chayefsky **Producer**: Howard Gottfried **Arthouse Theater Day!** *I’m mad as Hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!* One of the greatest satiric thrillers of all time, Sidney Lumet’s paranoid masterpiece *Network* has never stopped being relevant in an ever-increasingly corporate world. The UBS network is ready to retire their anchorman Howard Beale after 25 years. In an on-air tirade, Beale announces his plan to kill himself on TV. When ratings sky-rocket, Beale’s angry prophet routine becomes big business, and UBS decides to go even harder into extreme programming. Savagely funny, soul-shatteringly prescient, and with unbelievable performances from Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway, it’s easy to see how this film won 4 Oscars and continues to stay timely – 50 years later. **Picks from the Video Store** Take home more incredible deep cut performances from Faye Dunaway tonight! *Eyes of Laura Mars, Puzzle of a Downfall Child, Barfly* **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
