Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

This is one of David O. Russell's films. The movie "Three Kings" shows us a serious side to Russell, while "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" lets us see his humorous side. The movie is about Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), who is a top news anchorman who lives a good life until Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) steps in. Corningstone isn't a typical woman of the 1970's, oh no, she wants to be his equal! The whole movie basically revolves around these two central characters as they fight and bicker their way into a loving, or somewhat of a loving relationship.
