    Just Leaving This Here

    The prophecies of Howard Beale, the only newscaster we should ever have listened to, yet sadly ignored for the last 40 years. A brilliant, poignant scene from Network, 1976, with Peter Finch on form.

    Scene: American Flyers

    How many cliches can be fit into one scene? American Flyers may be the poor cousin to Breaking Away when it comes to cycling films, but it takes its rightful place in that rare niche of Hollywood feature film despite being inflicted with the Curse of Kevin Costner, who as a celluloid cyclist makes a great…
