Kill yourself, OP.

>>68266

Oh shit, that one skipped past me. I'd rank that in Good Tier myself.

>dem Jamie Lee Curtis titties

>>68223

american psycho

>>68284

And American Psycho. Definitely God Tier. Also Monster's Inc in Good Tier because of that energy crisis in Monster Town or whatever it was called

>>68251

Pain And Gain is not optional. Good call.

Rising Sun is gud if more of a murder mystery thriller.

should probably list inside job under good tier

>>68223
Boiler room shit tier? Would say rather good tier.

>>68223

I don't see how American Psycho is /biz/ other than the fact that the main character works as a businessman.

>>68451
When I get home from a night of drinking with some gurlz, I put this movie on. I end up passing out though... and I think the chicks think i'm a weirdo for playing a movie like this when I bring them back.

PBS's Frontline series on the 2008 meltdown has to be the definitive documentary on the subject as of yet...it's 4 hours long and pretty dry, but you will know your shit at the end of it

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/money-power-wall-street/

>>68480

why do you play that movie?

Oceans Eleven - Thriteen?

>>68304
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, expertly demonstrates the responsibilities of persons to properly dispose of their industrial waste

>>68503
Yeah, but the backdrop was meant to serve more as a literary foil to the nature of Patrick's inner turmoil (people who are as shallow and superficial as he is, except that they have the option not to be) rather than the movie being about Wall Street itself.

>>68567
Because I am a queen for the Art Deco period and this movie is simply stunning. I like watching it stoned too. I went to a bar in Chicago and they had this playing in the background... Shame I forget the name of the bar but I loved it.

Does the Social Network count as /biz?

>>68467
Because it makes light of the emptiness of financial yuppies' lives

Flash of Genius (2008)

>Robert Kearns takes on the Detroit automakers who he claims stole his idea for the intermittent windshield wiper.

This film is alright. Maybe in good tier if you've had a few.

No.

Only two problems with Wolf of Wall Street

1) No indication that they had moved from the office to a restaurant so it was surprising when the FBI found his little warning note
2) Slowed down at the end because there was no real climax

Roger and Me

"Premium-wise and billing-wise, we are eighteen percent ahead of last year, October-wise."

You fancy yourselves businessmen?

You have to realize that quite a lot of movies have an economic dimension, even if they aren't primarily about the economy. The economy is a giant part of human society, it impacts every person every day even if you live an isolated life away from other people.

>>68741
That''s powerful stuff. How about you suggest a movie?

That one scene from the 25th Hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol4Y4TY1kq4 was pretty cool

Quite a few Hayao Miyazaki movies have economic themes. For example, Spirited Away takes place in a theme park abandoned after the bubble collapsed in Japan and contains a character who is a river destroyed by development.

In all seriousness, Project Mayhem is fucking scary.

There was this whole genre of films in the '80s, corporate geek movies, in which handsome stars played entry-level geeks that somehow swindled their way to the top because by golly they had spunk.

The movies aren't good but they're kitschy-good.

> The Secret of My Success
Michael J Fox is a young man from Kansas who moves to NYC to make it! and kind of does. He gets a mail room job at his uncle's very '80s conglomerate, pretends to be an executive, fights off an LBO, hijinks ensue.

> Head Office
Judge Reinhold pretends to be Michael J Fox in The Secret of My Success.

There were a few others.

One from the '90s I rarely see mentioned:

> The Prime Gig
I'd say medium tier, but the movie's hard to find from torrents and shit so it's been awhile since I've seen it. I caught it on late night cable once and it was interesting: cold call salesmen moving from low-rent scams to high-flying ones.

>>68223
>Wall Street
That was a terrible leftist movie.

Hot to Trot

>>69570
If you cut out the last 30 minutes it's bretty gud

>>69232
It had some good moments, but come on, it's ultimately a shit movie.

I love Oshii's movies but they are good awful if we measure them by characterization in any manner.

I'm still mad about Patlabor 2 for focusing on tertiary characters and 3 for not even being fucking Patlabor.

GITS was good, but then I went back and read the manga and I found out that Motoko actually has a personality to speak of. If we examine his movies on any other aspect they're fantastic, but they often lack any decent characterization. If it's a work based on previous material, you may find that the only thing it shares with other installments is characters as elements in the story, and the environments they live in.

He fails to give his movies any remarkable emotion, and all of them just seem so monotone.

>>68223
American Psycho perhaps?

Margin call was great. Kevin spacey 4 lyfe

let me help you

>So you think we might have put a few people out of business today. That its all for naught. You've been doing that everyday for almost forty years Sam. And if this is all for naught then so is everything out there. Its just money; its made up. Pieces of paper with pictures on it so we don't have to kill each other just to get something to eat. It's not wrong. And it's certainly no different today than its ever been. 1637, 1797, 1819, 37, 57, 84, 1901, 07, 29, 1937, 1974, 1987-Jesus, didn't that fucker fucked me up good-92, 97, 2000 and whatever we want to call this. It's all just the same thing over and over; we can't help ourselves. And you and I can't control it, or stop it, or even slow it. Or even ever-so-slightly alter it. We just react. And we make a lot money if we get it right. And we get left by the side of the road if we get it wrong. And there have always been and there always will be the same percentage of winners and losers. Happy fuckers and sad suckers. Fat cats and starving dogs in this world. Yeah, there may be more of us today than there's ever been. But the percentages-they stay exactly the same.

>>68223
How is Margin Call only good tier?

It does everything Wolf does minus the explosives. Its a much more honest look at Wall Street and economics.

Barbarians at the gate

>>68905
Oh man, I remember watching that film when film4 went on a Ghibli splurge about two years back or so. The girl looks nothing like her grown adult self, but it's such a good movie in any case. Ghibli can do slice of life without it becoming odious.

there are two types of libertarians, those who believe the government is interfering in business, and a second type: those who believe that the market is truly greater than its parts. The government on a good day is a glorified janitor, who picks up the pieces after all else fails.

Margin Call was very disappointing, and I wouldn't rate it as finance related.

The style of the movie is for the underemployed Millenial dipshits, like myself. It hints at populism, doesn't contain any interesting financial insights, and the actors were shit, including Spacey, unfortunately.

>>70763
But that doge burying scene...I have no idea what that was supposed to represent...eh, seen Too big to fail? Margin call was bwtter than that at least

>>68451
absolute rubbish.
Lang was good when he had no money and filmed about pedophilia, in "M".

>>69570
Liberals are better than conservatives, almost always. Better literature and art, better filmmakers. There's a pattern. Stick with Fox and Friends and your delusions haha. I'll stick with enjoying life and society and culture.

>>68810
awesum!
about thailand krach in the 90's.
best film about being trapped in a lie, one of the best horror movies ever, really makes you sweat.

layer cake

syrianna pretty good

Office Space

>>71062
Now I think about indeed WS was leftie but at least not as preachy leftie as other Stone movies.

What about THEY LIVE

I'm surprised no one's brought up Too Big to Fail. aka the Ben Bernanke saves the day movie

>>71062
it's true liberals certainly bring creativity, light and color to society

if only there was some way to keep you people grounded and pragmatic, there'd be a lot fewer problems in the world

this thread seems to show a prejudice of hollywood (and others) against business.
everytime there's a success story, film reveals evil and cheating (the social network, there will be blood (oil), pirates of the silicon valley...)

Positive films about business?

"Pursuit of happiness" comes to mind.
>true story.
but then it was pretty boring.

this movie is amazing when you're on drugs

>>71273
Non-hollywood films you say. Well, there's Baider-Meinhof Komplex. It's a film about German commies so defs more /pol/ but they kill bankers in it so a little bit /biz/. There's also an Aussie two part miniseries called Kerry Packer's War about an Aussie billionaire media mogul which is pretty neat.

I'm surprised nobody mention Distinguished Gentleman. It's a political movie but there's a ton of Big Business undercurrents

Bullshit. All Watched Over says more about modern society than any other doc I've seen. I think you just want him to say stuff in an obvious way.

I remember when this came out, people were tossing around the idea of making a 4chan version called The Anti-Social Network, with Moot as the protagnist. Too bad it never happened.

Anyway, it's definitely /biz/-related

>Wolf of Wall Street
>no Barbarians at the Gate

>>78292
i'll write that book. do you think moot would give a fuck?

>>78373

mootykins himself likely wouldn't, but be aware: his Jew handlers issued a cease-and-desist to the people running moot.it for infringing on his personal brand or whatever the fuck

>>78516
Pretty sure the moot.it case was about people saying they WERE moot, and they were the owners of 4chan or some shit, so solid moot lawyered up and defeated moot.it

we would have cited this if we had deemed it of interest.
Actually I have no strong opinions about it. 5/10.
