Sidney Lumet's Network is unquestionably one of the most prophetic American films from the last thirty years. It accurately predicted that the world of television was bound for a massive makeover and that eventually the news networks will begin creating their own news while comfortably manipulating the public.Wow I admire your enthusiasm but not your common sense. I'd half consider buying at a reasonable price. It's got that Des O'Connor sketch on it. That alone is worth a quid or two but there's no way I'd pay that much for it.

Presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Sidney Lumet's Network arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Arrow Video.

Today, however, he is preoccupied – Esmerelda, his racing pigeon, is taking part in the race of her life! I watched it when it came out (the box set) and enjoyed it fairly good story's to say was for kids.
