I wonder why 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' didn't make the list. It was better than all the above, in my opinion.

It won the previous year in 75.
Hahahaha

ROCKY…EASILY

Network should have won.
Face to Face should have been nominated.

I thought Network was very odd. It is seemingly a mostly serious film, but the ending is so bizarre it doesn't really fit with the rest of the movie.

Network was nothing but a brilliant satire on the television industry.
Not to be taken seriously at all. Showing how far studios are willing to go for ratings
and how quickly they'll pull the plug.
the story of Howard Beale, the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.
Considering the way TV has changed since then, it was as if Chayefsky had a crystal ball.
Morton Downey Jr, Jerry Springer, Geraldo, Maury Povich, Rush etc…

I’d say Network was very prescient film and should be taken seriously in terms of the pointed satire it had to present about mainstream media television, its ratings wars and manipulations to pander to the masses.

Taxi Driver.

I'm saying Bound For Glory. An unusual choice, but there it is.

Are you okay?

This is the strongest and tightest Best Picture field in the history of the Oscars. I go back and forth between Taxi Driver and Rocky. Today, I'll take Taxi Driver.

I have not seen Bound for Glory but the winner should have been Network.
I love Rocky and I can see why it won but Network was so clearly the best film of those I have seen.
All the President's Men would be second.
And then Rocky.
Taxi Driver? Nah.

[fgadmin]

ToastedCheese — 2 months ago(January 17, 2026 07:27 AM)

Of those films,
Network
, though I can understand
Rocky’s
win.
My personal choice, the near perfect
Carrie
would have been nominated and won best picture, actress, supporting actress and screenplay.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?
