I know a lot of people cite TERMS OF ENDEARMENT or AS GOOD AS IT GETS as James L. Brooks' best work but for me, BROADCAST NEWS is his masterpiece. Not only is it a snapshot of its times (network news has changed A LOT since then) but he manages to make a romantic comedy about a love triangle involving three people that aren't that likable but you stick with them because of the actors that bring them to life. Great stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-74639159114218013262016-08-15T12:57:49.184-07:002016-08-15T12:57:49.184-07:00@keith71_98-Ah.

Brooks' work as a filmmaker but I keep hearing about this one as I decided to check it out and I think it's the best film he's done as it's not forced in its humor or sentimentality as with the rest of his films which is probably why I don't like them.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-41918305950153746462016-08-11T12:13:55.838-07:002016-08-11T12:13:55.838-07:00Boy I've been meaning to check this out, I lov...Boy I've been meaning to check this out, I love movies about broadcast journalism.
