Movies about television and cinema

A drama comedy about the corruption and corporatization of the television. It has some of the most memorable sentences of cinema's history, including ‘I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.’ It's honest, funny, and frighteningly accurate in its predictions. Easily the best 70s movie and one of the best of all time.

An original comedy where a man unwittingly is the main character of a live tv show. It's a comedy with a point: reality might not be what we think it is. As the director of the show says when asked why Truman, in his 30s, has never discovered the true nature of his world: 'We accept the reality of the world with which we're presented.' This movie could probably get you more interested in philosophy than many dry, dusty volumes.
