Can you recommend movies like The Social Network?
I really enjoy Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network. Every time I watch it, I get the idea to make a cool app. So, do you have any similar movie recommendations?

- _v9nk 1y agoLooks like a good movie. Thanks.
- cranberryturkey 1y agoIt is. its old but it still holds up
- cranberryturkey 1y agoHackers is good too but a little cheesy and then there's The Net which is decent.
- massung 1y agoShh! Too many secrets!
- cranberryturkey 1y agoSeatech Astronomy
- al_borland 1y agoI haven’t watched either in a long time, so I can’t remember the vibe, but Pirates of Silicon Valley.
- softwaredoug 1y agoI really liked The Founder about Roy Kroc and McDonalds. Currently on Netflix Very similar themes and story. Not about an “app” but how McDonalds works is about food preparation innovation and the tech/process behind it. And like The Social Network a lot of people are left in Krocs dust.

- LarryMade2 1y agoHere's a few: Brainstorm - shows the progression of developing technology (in this case a device that can record and playback a subjects' experiences.) Real Genius - College antics with a bunch of kids developing a stronger laser Silicon Valley - mini series again about silicon valley culture/developing new tech - also how ideas are discovered and others stumble upon similar, etc. American Experience: Silicon Valley - documentary of early silicon valley and the people who started the companies

- bjourne 1y agoMiddle Men, perhaps. A story about two guys who built a payment provider for porn companies who then took all their customers' money and ran.
- fuckaj 1y agoSo dont take 3% forever (for a company probably valued at 33x or 100% if you like), take 100% now for a zero value company and criminal charges.
- dysoco 1y agoNowhere near the same quality and actually (mini)series but: - Halt and Catch Fire (actually pretty good quality and full series) - The Playlist (creation of Spotify) - The Dropout (creation of Theranos... do not get advice from this one though) - WeCrashed (about WeWork, haven't seen this one though) - Silicon Valley (silly comedy but might work) Also some TV/movies/docs you might find in YouTube: - Pirates of Silicon Valley (movie about bill gates and steve jobs) - Project Code Rush (about the beginning of Mozilla) - Aardvark'd: 12 weeks with geeks (doc about a startup by Joel Spolsky of StackOverflow fame). Oh and also those two Steve Job movies that came out side by side.
- _v9nk 1y agoThere is a treasure here, I will add to list.
- 0xCE0 1y agoGeneral Magic (movie) Halt and Catch Fire (series) Silicon Valley (series)
- drrob 1y agoMicro Men. British film about the beginnings of Spectrum and Acorn.
