| read time 5 minutes

Are you a movie buff? I've come up with few good business movies to watch

1.  “The Social Network” (2010)

The best entrepreneur movies always include some kind of rail against the establishment—and “The Social Network” is no different. This movie details the treacherous path of Facebook’s beginnings when entrepreneurial-minded Mark Zuckerberg (played here by Jesse Eisenberg) launches the social network in his Harvard dorm to get back at a recent ex-girlfriend. Soon enough, with financing from investor and friend Eduardo Saverin, Facebook takes on a life of its own. Ever the believer in his own abilities, Zuckerberg builds Facebook’s platform single-mindedly, ignoring financial requirements, legalities, and other people’s feelings.

2.. “Joy” (2015)

Another true-to-life entrepreneur movie is “Joy”, the story of entrepreneur and business magnate Joy Mangano. At the start, Mangano (Jennifer Lawrence) lives in a rundown house with two kids, her divorced parents, her grandmother, and her ex-husband (who spends his days doing karaoke in the basement). Her future looks dim until she is struck with that all-encompassing inspiration so familiar to every entrepreneur: an idea for a revolutionary cleaning product called the Miracle Mop

3. “Wall Street” (1987)

“Greed is good,“ is the tireless mantra of  “Wall Street”‘s money-obsessed antagonist Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas). This entrepreneur movie tells the story of Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), a young and ambitious stockbroker who dives headfirst into the volatile 1980’s stock exchange. With his new boss’s aggressive thesis ingrained into his training, Bud finds himself susceptible to  glamour and excitement of his newfound lifestyle.

Why it’s one of the best entrepreneur movies:  It gives you a peek into the world of corporate finance, investment, and capital markets, “Wall Street” shows just how slippery the slope of greed truly is, and the ultimate consequences of fraudulent business practices.

4. “Office Space” (1999)

No one knows the monotony of corporate culture better than Peter Gibbons ( Ron Livingston). Peter’s daily interactions with tedious coworkers and an exhausting boss result in regular daydreams of destroying the software company he works for. Work relationships and office politics are at the center of this satirical comedy, and any entrepreneur who left office existence will relate to the ineffective bureaucracy of corporate life.

Why it’s one of the best entrepreneur movies: Through the lens of a corporate drone, “Office Space” shows how the mindlessness of traditional corporate culture leaves many employees feeling uninspired and passionless. In the end, Peter decides to leave the company and pursue a career that he enjoys—and that’s a story every entrepreneur can relate to.

5. “Pi” (1998)

This surrealist psychological thriller film, which was written and directed by Darren Aronofsky, follows an unemployed number theorist named Max who suffers from cluster headaches, paranoia, hallucinations, and social anxiety disorder. The film is notable for covering themes ranging from religion, mysticism, and the relationship of the universe to mathematics. Max becomes obsessed with these themes in order to find the key to the chaos that surrounds us everywhere, which he can use predict anything, such as the stock market.

 6. TVF Pitchers

Most of the Indian entrepreneurs are out there courtesy of TVF Pitchers. Pitchers is a web series famous for causing an itch to start something of one's own. TVF's Pitchers is based on the story of four boys and their startup. The humor juxtaposed with exciting scenes makes the series stand out. Entrepreneurs will closely related to Pitchers, no doubt. You can watch this series for free on YouTube or through TVF’s app.

7. Bazaar

Baazaar didn't generate a lot of buzz but it was warmly welcomed by people and critics alike. The Saif Ali Khan starrer, Bazaar is based on how the Dalal Street works and what happens behind closed curtains. To add some masala, the director has included some fictitious storylines as well. Although the plot may seem to be predictable, aspiring entrepreneurs would still love this Bollywood movie since it shows what a businessman's life is all about

8. Moneyball

This movie is about the Oakland Athletics and its general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt).

The team is an underdog and is losing a lot of money. All of their star players have been picked up by bigger teams. Now, Billy needs to look at how to create a winning team without the kind of talent that money can buy.

This movie shows how entrepreneurs can take an innovative approach to an existing way of doing business, and beat out the competition with little to no money
