OK, here is another fun one ...

Which film, do you think, is the most prophetic films to forecast what is happening to day in the real world?

My top pic is "Network", from 1976 ... Just listen to this wonderful rant by "Howard Beal" ...

( I think that it's slightly off sync )

... and then, THIS clip is absolutely astounding, just listen to this head of a corporation speak of the real world ...

remember ... this came out in 1976. truly astounding.

I completely agree with this choice. It's truly frightening how spot on this movie is. I remember seeing it in 1976 and thinking that it was over the top. Now it's everyday life.
