I think there's a thread about this already, but:

The Social Network - I used to put this on when i was working on my first business for motivation. Probably have "watched" it 30 times.

Middle Men - loved this one

I just wanted the Imitation Game, which isn't technically about business, but was nonetheless excellent and Motivational

Whiplash - a story about greatness

Nighcrawler - a heartbreaking story about a gentleman who've started from the bottom, dirt poor he learned skills from the internet and founded his business from the ground up, doing whatever it takes. Okay, maybe a bit sociopathic

Fight Club - an inspirational movie about a group of friends who got tired of their 9-5 jobs and the corporate world so they set out to make a difference. Having come up with service that provides people a new way of being together and doing activities together they build up momentum and change the world.

Watchmen - not really about entrepreneurship, but teaches you a valuable lesson. Your master plan? Better F*cking did it 35 minutes ago. :D

I also got some kicks out of Factotum, but it's a bit artsy and "boring" my normal definition. But it's about a guy (Bukowski) who does whatever it takes to live his dream (which is being a writer). If you want to save yourself some time Bukowski's poem Roll The Dice pretty much sums it up.

My top 3:

1. There will be blood (my favourite film)- ruthless, hardworking rags to riches psychotic oil tycoon against a greedy hypocritical religious figure.
2. Godfather
3. Rocky- the ultimate underdog film

Although I didn't expect to, I also really enjoyed the social network

I learned everything I know about business from The Wolf of Wall Street

Nice joke. Thanks guys for the replies. Keep them coming. I already watched one of the above mentioned movies. Called: Nightcrawler. That guy is a true psychopath, but he knows how to do business. I will watch the soon rest :)

Boiler Room: if only for the Ben Affleck speech, but it's an excellent insight on the 'mind of a hustler', what people will do and what people won't ask in order to make some money.

Office Space: I love this movie. It's motivating in that it shows a reality that millions of people live every day: comfortable and safe but horribly unfulfilled and deeply unhappy. Some gold quotes in the movie as well.

Iono man pick any 3rd

The Social Network

Godfather

The Wolf of Wall Street - This movie doesnt teach you anything really but seeing the life of Jordan Belfort up until his conviction is very very motivating (If you get rich legally, that is ;) )


-I'm not in danger, I AM the Danger

One that hasn't been listed and almost certain no one knows about.

The Billionaire (A Thai movie. Major language barrier but action speaks louder than words)


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2292955/

Based on a true story too. My fellow entrepreneurs, do not miss this one. :tiphat:

How no one has mentioned "Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room" is beyond me.

^ This movie alone showed me a lot about human nature. Fascinating what they were doing AND getting away with.
