Ask HN: What's your favourite business oriented movie?
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.
- sameers 6mo agoDepends 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 :)
