The Aviator (2004) Also the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged_(film_series)

Not exactly good investment advice there though:

    The trilogy received predominantly negative critic reviews and the aggregate USA box office is just under $9 million, with each film performing worse than the last on both accounts.

Atlas Shruugged trilogy represents $35 million in, 9 million return and no recognition of merit.

The founder and Air are must watch. Also, Guru (Bollywood) is a nice one - story of Dhirubhai Ambani, the man who founded Reliance industries

"Silicon Valley". It's not a movie, but a documentary TV series about startup scene in '00 ;)

Sitcom? Maybe a bit of both

Halt and Catch Fire

Seriously underrated. Based on the 80s.The most realistic drama about entrepreneurship and relationships I've ever watched.

Kitchen Nightmares, UK version.

Operations, People, Marketing, Sane decision making, Passion.

But not the US version. That's just drama.

Also gotta recommend Burden of Dreams, the making of Fitzcarraldo, which is arguably an even crazier story
