What movie about entrepreneurship would you recommend?
I'm not just looking to be entertained, I would like to learn cool stuff about business and get inspired along the way.
The Founder.
Not a movie but Halt and Catch Fire was really great.
The Social Network is a great film that manages to be inspiring and critical of its subject at the same time.
Margin Call is about finance, not entrepreneurship, but it’s one of my favorite films.
It only lasted a season or two, but How to Make it in America was pretty inspiring as well.
I found The Profit series to be inspiring.
- Narcos (about Pablo Escobar)
- Super Pumped (about Uber)
The Toy
Capitalism, Cronyism, sticktoitiveness, and, for the right price, you can buy anything.
The Bridge to Nowhere
Lord of War
Boiler Room
I second the other recommendation for Tetris.
How to make money selling drugs (2012), followed by Narconomics: How To Run a Drug Cartel book.
"Silicon Valley". It's not a movie, but a documentary TV series about startup scene in '00 ;)
"Breaking Bad". Not a movie but series.
Replace drug with any other product and the ingenuity of Walter White to scale the operations, hiring people, shifting operations to different locations, responding to competition makes it interesting.
Is rolling the million-sided dice to win unicorn treats from VC/PE really even about “entrepreneurship”?
These are:
- Chef
- Big Night
- Joy
- Jerry Maguire
- The Founder
- Spare Parts (arguably)
- The one about the guy who invented intermittent windshield wipers and spent his whole life suing the megacorp that stole his idea
"Straight Outta Compton" (2015).
Antitrust from 2001, its about Github.
- Office space
-The 12 chairs
