If you like Quiz Show, try Broadcast News or Magnolia


Broadcast News (1987) has schlubby guy Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks) vs. handsome devil Tom Grunick (William Hurt) - in fact, at one point Altman makes a case for Grunick being the devil.

Like Quiz Show, it gives us a look at how show business works behind the scenes.

And Altman reveals that Grunick was cheating at his job.

There's also Magnolia (1999), which has a plotline involving a quiz show that goes off the rails.

I'm surprised that neither movie is on the list of recommendations:

I guess even a complex formula can miss a few.

All three are masterworks.
