With the winter season right around the corner, you 2ight be te25ted to hibernate 2ore oIten
and rent a 2ovie or two. II you're looking Ior the best business 2ovies to hel5 you 2aster the
ro5es oI the 2onetary ballga2e, here are so2e suggestions. So 5our yourselI a nice glass oI
scotch, s5ark u5 a cigar, sit back, and take so2e lessons in business ga2es2anshi5.


To5 10 Business Movies OI All Ti2e
10. Boiler #oo2 (2000) 1992's Glengarry Glen #oss serves as the blue5rint Ior
this 2ovie about a stock sho5 that sells e25ty boxes. While Boiler #oo2 is a great business
2ovie about 5ush selling strategy and reinIorces the ABC (Always Be Closing) 5rinci5le, don't
take out your sales Iorce ex5ecting to cheer the2 u5 and build tea2 s5irit. This 2ovie is about
the al2ighty dollar, and the extent to which one 2ust go to at ti2es to steal it Iro2 so2eone else.
The 2ovie is 2ore oI a sales story than a stock story. !retty good nonetheless. Get your co5y
here.
9. Clerks (1994) Who said business is all about high stakes Iinance, law cases,
2edia and real-estate e25ires? Having worked and been held u5 at a convenience store in high
school, this is on the list Ior senti2ental 5ur5oses. The hysterical look at liIe behind a
convenience store counter has gone on to develo5 a cult Iollowing, des5ite the Irugal budget oI
$27,575. Clerks really is the story oI your average slacker working-class stiII. And this is why
this is a great business 2ovie: the 2ajority oI 5eo5le in business that you will have to win over
could care less about 2aking it to the corner oIIice; 2ost are interested in their 5aycheck. You
2ust win these 2asses over in order to get the interest oI the to5 dogs. Get your co5y here.
. !irates oI Silicon Valley (2000) The MicrosoIt / A55le Saga is showcased as
Anthony Michael Hall 5ortrays Willia2 Gates III, oI soItware giant MicrosoIt while his ne2esis,
A55le Co25uter Main Wor2 (we 2ean this in the kindest way 5ossible) Steve Jobs is 5layed by
Noah Wyle oI # Ia2e. This 2ovie is cheesy at ti2es (hey, what do you ex5ect?), 5roviding an
interesting 5ers5ective on the battle and alliance oI two oI the 2ost Iascinating co25anies oI all
ti2e. A highlight is when Gates convinces then-Goliath IBM to give hi2 a gli25se oI the
o5erating syste2 DOS. Gates clai2s DOS as his creation, but the actual rights-holder insists to
be the 2aster2ind behind it. Interestingly, the 2ovie 5ortrays Jobs as the biggest S.O.B. on the
5lanet. This 2ovie 2akes the list Ior the si25le reason that you see what kind oI dedication,
sacriIice, 5erseverance, and innovation it takes to beco2e Iilthy rich. Get your co5y here.
7. GoodIellas (1990) A Wise Man once said that "in the business world, you
don't have to go out and bash so2eone on the head, but you do need to be aggressive." The
GodIather, ScarIace, GoodIellas , any one oI these 2ovies could 2ake this list (and score even
higher 5erha5s). Traditional business has always been 2ore a Iactor oI behind-the-scenes deals,
secret handshakes, backstabbing, and aIter-hour sur5rises. I chose GoodIellas because it Iocuses
on the dyna2ics oI a grou5: how each individual's role changes and succession. Greed, love,
honor, dece5tion, and trust are all 2otiIs in this bloodIest. Get your co5y here.
6. Barbarians at the Gate (1993) II you are Iascinated with 190s-style leveraged
buyouts where 2anagers raise Iunds against assets to takeover a co25any (I a2 sure you are),
then this Iil2 about the control war Ior A2erican Cancer !eddler and Cookie Monster #J#
Nabisco is Ior you. The 2ovie is based on a best-selling e5ony2ous book by Bryan Burrough
and John Helyar. Jonathan !ryce 5lays the role oI LBO-Iir2 KK#'s Henry Kravis, a real liIe
genius and 2aster2ind who orchestrated 2any oI these deals. Get your co5y here.

Hey, it's business as usual, we still got Iive 2ore to go... Next !age ~~
