I think of great 70's flicks like
Network the great Sidney Lumet prophecy about TV. The idea of giving time to broadcasting a terror group's activities was such dark satire.
It came to pass in many ways. Reality TV and shiite.
Another of my favorites is
The Presidents Analyst, a film they would never make today. This film threatens us with the notion of all control (Cold War) going to TFC - The Phone Company. Damn, they hit this one out of the park too.
Watch these and thank LA J for the thread!
