Favorite Movies?
Hello Everyone,
I am just trying to find some good movies to watch that have to do with some type of business. I like WallStreet, and Boiler Room, anyone have any others?
Cheers,
Casey

American Psycho is a freakishly good movie. It's not recommended for children, or anyone normal. But it does have a plot that revolves around Wall Street.
And of course, there's always Startup.com, which looks back on the demise of the commerce craze.

Old School made me want to go to college, but Office Space ensured that I'll never work in an office afterwards  |

WallStreet and Boiler Room are definitly 2 great movies to check out. Startup.com is one that I would recommend as well, although in documentry format, it is very good and takes you through the trials and tribulations of starting up an internet business.
Also might want to check out Rounders, its more of gambeling and high stakes poker, but it is a great movie since they are coming out with a second one.

I would say:
Paid in Full
King of New York
New Jack City
Blow (Boston George is dat dude)
Casino _ great pick eric
Once upon a time in America
I was just about to rent the movie Bookies
Now for legit business movies I will have to think about those, these had a bigger and more memorable affect on me.

Damn, All the good movies were already mentioned...
Carlito's Way is kind of cool too. Same people that made Scarface and Pacino is in it. Watch it...
GoodFellas is pretty cool too.

It's a tv show on dvd, not a movie, but you have to buy, not rent, The Office. No question, one of the most awkwardly funny shows I've ever seen. Buy seasons 1 and 2. I think the new combo pack has the Christmas and after special. BUY IT NOW!
