50 Best Business Movies Ever
For a really useful website with trailers, here's an example:
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)
Jon Teckman, a tutor at Ashridge Business School and previous chief executive of the British Film Institute, says that a particular scene in the film stands out as a good example of the dark side of leadership.
"[In the scene] Alec Baldwin attempts to motivate a stellar cast of failing salesmen to sell more parcels of land by offering them these incentives: 'First prize in this month's sales competition is a Cadillac Eldorado; second prize is a set of steak knives; third prize – you're fired!' Not the way we would encourage managers to motivate their teams nowadays but a great piece of cinema."
And number one is:
1. Citizen Kane (1941) If not one of the best movies of all time, then definitely in a league of its own in terms of business flicks. Orson Welles wrote, directed and starred in this masterpiece about Charles Foster Kane, which was inspired by the life of newspaper publisher and magnate William Randolph Hearst. The movie's use of lighting, camera angles and set design has served as the subject of film school studies for decades. Citizen Kane won the Oscar in 1941 for Best Screenplay, and stirred much controversy, as it appeared to fictionalize and even caricaturize aspects of Hearst's life.Best business movies - AskMen
