The Aviator shows some of Howard Hughes' endeavours, the risks he took, the foresight he had which enabled him to make $$$.

Howard Hughes was a mad cunt.

American Psycho

I find it really motivating for some reason

There Will Be Blood
Boiler Room (telemarketers will enjoy it definitely)

Am I the only one who gets a huge kick out of watching business movies? Especially if it involves entrepreneurship and rags to riches? Or is it normal if you're a /biz/reali?

I just like them for the cunty antagonist that treat people like shit and are" smart enough to pull off any negotiation. I hate when they have morals getting involved and try to teach the viewer a lesson "greed is bad" "love everyone" "it's okay to not make a lot of money.
Glengarry Glennross is good

American Psycho is amazing. Not too much on how to get rich, but its a parody of rich lifestyle. Might rewatch that now

+2 for There Will Be Blood.

Great movie, but really shows entrepreneurship from the ground up, and that's how a lot of oil tycoons started out.

Glengary Ross is about a bunch of sad fucks given the short end of the stick, and in the end all they can do is complain about how fucking pathetic they are.

Sounds like sales to me.

It's easily the best Wall Street movie ever made.

>People want to live like this in their cars and their big fucking houses that they can’t even pay for? Then you’re necessary. The only reason they all get to continue living like kings is because we’ve got our fingers on the scales in their favor. I take my hand off and the whole world gets really fucking fair really fucking quickly and nobody actually wants that.

Fictional:
The Crowd (1928) - silent film, more about life and money than business, no jokes
Chinatown
Trading Places

Non-Fictional

Just downloaded and watched it because of your reply.

It was sortof based on entrepreneurship, but not in a way that will teach you anything usefull other than 'lel dont get obsessed with da monies XD'

I still enjoyed it though.

This x1,000

The wealthy character who also donates to Church every single Sunday before stopping at the local orphanage he hand built is too unrealistic and boring, while the asshole exec in the whitecollar shirt doing blow and telling everyone off is more of an exciting character in general.

The commodity trading scene in Trading Places is amazing.

I didn't get it initially when I was a teen, but after rewatching as an Adult the trading scheme they did was brilliant.
