Peter Finch in Network.
I’ve seen 8 of the 45 films on the chart, less than I thought. Favorites are – First Men in the Moon, Murderer’s Row and Flight of the Phoenix.
I’ve watched Network once, good film, good actors but it’s not a favorite.

Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve. Thanks for checking out our Peter Finch page. I have seen 6 compared to your 8. I have only seen one of your favorites…..Flight of the Phoenix….which I also really like. I feel the same way about Network. Finch is great in the movie, but he is more of a supporting character than the lead..yet he won the Best Actor Oscar. You might right about Finch’s win being fueled by his recent passing. Good stuff as always.
