Quotes From the Cinema
The movies just keep pouring forth from Hollywood.
They have become an integral part of our lives.
Even in our current political campaign, we are treated to the famous, galvanizing Peter Finch quote from the 1976 movie Network. “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” That saying captured the feelings of America at that time.
