I loved Network, but it stands out more for me as a collection of speeches rather than a coherent story. It's been a while since I saw it, but I think the idea that a network would actually kill someone on the air for ratings would either strike me as extremely silly or unremarkable.

Rocky was the better movie. Whenever I think about films of the 70s, I tend to sum it up as a bunch of men yelling at each other in service of some idea. Rocky, the character, did very little yelling. He was the epitome of cool.
