Ask HN: What's your favourite business oriented movie?

3•wasimsk•1h ago

I watched The Wolf of Wall Street, The Social Network, Steve Jobs & The Big Short.

My favourite is "Steve Jobs" by Michael Fassbender. He got nominated for best actor at Oscars(2016) but Leo DiCaprio got that Oscar. Michael played the role so well tbh.

Depends on what you mean by "business," I suppose, but There Will Be Blood is my favorite, about the "business" of exploiting oil in southern CA though it's much more fictionalized than your other choices :)

Margin Call.

It's about a company that makes sausage that discovers their meat supply is full of sawdust and rat feces. They decide to sell off all their inventory, and crash the market, before their competitors do.
