what are /biz/ approved films?
>>1674033
the atlas shrugged movies, the alex jones movie, Glengarry Glen Ross and wall street
This one is really comfy right before christmas, make sure you watch it before christmas if you haven't seen it to get that comfy feeling
Semi-related to business I guess

what's it about?
The inevitable biopic of Martin Shkreli should be good.
>>1674033
The Big Short - learn about the subprime mortgage crisis
American Psycho - Learn how to properly be a yuppie. Also read the book to further learn about the yuppie lifestyle
Nightcrawler - learn to appreciate the ruthlessness
Movies to avoid:
The Wolf of Wall Street - Belfort was not even located on Wall Street and you learn nothing from that movie. It's just a fun movie.

It's about a man very wealthy and succesful businessman (idk if he is a CEO or what). He has no real family love in his life, he even made his employees work christmas day. Then something happens that i dont want to spoil
Definitely worthwhile watching

The Wolf of Wallstreet may not provide any useful information but it is somewhat /biz/ as it may provide motivation for success.

That movie is kinda bullshit though.
The reality is that most wives are gonna drive their husbands towards maximizing their earning potential and most kids want the new Air Jordans.
So.....

I'm currently reading the book. It goes into more depth than the movie about what me him become what he did and how he rationalized things.
