Off-Topic: I watched this movie due to recommendations on here, and it sucked balls. The only part worth watching was Alec Baldwins rant. Save yourself 1 hour and 40 minutes and watch the youtube clip..

Wow. That movie is filled with top notch performances, especially jack's. They don't make movies like this anymore.


But Business wise? Not many good movies, might want to stick to books, and or documentaries, read case studies, wikipedia, real life shit is much more enjoyable and practical movies like boiler room lack any substance, its romantic novels to the real shit.
 
There aren't too many good business movies out there, imo. Pirates of Silicon Valley is kinda corny, but I like it. It's about the rise of MS and Apple. You can watch it online at icefilms

I highly recommend Cosmopolis by Don Delillo if you read fiction tho.
 
Working Girl, Hudsucker Proxy and one you probably never heard of: A Taxing Woman from Japan. Fun film, definitely worth checking out by the great Juzo Itami. It's about a man who runs a sex hotel and his dispute with a tax collector.
 
2 Must see's for internet marketers: 1.) Pirates of the Silicon Valley and 2.) Startup.com

"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" is also a pretty good documentary if your into that kind of stuff.
 
I just watched Beer Wars. Pretty good flick. It gets into distribution problems that regional and local breweries have. If you like beer its definitely recommended.
 
Oldie but goodie
Office Space: abeli, a - belii you hab ma stabler...

If any of you guys deal with backend sales floors/coaching for your leads, awesome movie:

Boiler room:

EDIT: Sorry noticed it's already mentioned, still awesome.
 
Blow
Lord Of War
Network
Hitler - The Rise Of Evil (Watch it, you'll see what I mean!)

Glen Gary Glenross is my favourite, followed by THE business man scene in Network.

Wow, I totally disagree.

I thought it was a genius movie - a handful of characters, basically two locations for the whole movie, and had you thinking until the end "Who the fuck stole those leads?!"
