  The United Broadcasting System decides to fire its dean of newscasters, Howard Beale (Peter Finch). His friend, network executive Max Schumacher (William Holden), announces that Beale is being fired, and Beale responds by telling the audience that he will be committing suicide on the next show. The head of the network, Frank Hackett (Robert Duvall), wants to get rid of Beale immediately–until he realizes that the network will have the highest ratings ever when Beale commits suicide on the air–and programming exec Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) talks him into airing the show. The show goes on, but Hackett does not commit suicide and, instead, announces, "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!" He is suffering a nervous breakdown, but the ratings of his television news show skyrocket, and Hackett becomes a TV icon. This film provides great satire on the greed inherent in television networks as they fight for top ratings.

Cast: Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, Raquel Welch, Michael York, Geraldine Chaplin, Charlton Heston, Faye Dunaway, Christopher Lee, Frank Finlay, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Spike Milligan, Roy Kinnear, Joss Ackland, Simon Ward, Georges Wilson

  This is a very good rendition of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel about the swashbuckling adventures and romances of D'Artagnan (Michael York) and the three Musketeers–Athos, Aramis, and Porthos (Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, and Frank Finlay). The story begins when D'Artagnan arrives in Paris wanting to follow in the footsteps of his father (Joss Ackland) who was a Musketeer. He meets and befriends Athos, Aramis, and Porthos and then joins in their efforts to defend Queen Anna (Geraldine Chaplin) from the scheming Cardinal Richelieu (Charlton Heston).

  Architect Doug Roberts (Paul Newman) and builder James Duncan (William Holden) are hosting a party celebrating the construction of a 130-stories-tall office building and hotel in San Francisco. During the party, faulty wiring by subcontractor Roger Simmons (Richard Chamberlain) causes a spark that results in the building bursting into flames. As the building erupts, the guests are trapped in the building, and their fates rely on Fire Chief O'Hallorhan (Steve McQueen) to stop the fire and save their lives. The special effects are spectacular in this disaster film. An Oscar for Best Song went to "We May Never Love Like This Again." In addition to two other Oscars (Best Cinematography and Film Editing), the film was nominated for four others, including Best Picture and Supporting Actor (Fred Astaire for his role of con man Harlee Claiborne attending the party).
