14 Entertaining Business related movies everyone must watch

-
In the morning, a friend requested a list of entertaining movies to watch this week. Since The BusDom is a business and current affairs domain, I decided to post a list of business related movies which are entertaining.

Some business movies are technical and some are not so technical. People who are not exposed to management concepts prefer the later. They expect movies to be entertaining and also informative on the concepts of business management.They feel that technical ones are boring, I don't agree to it though. This post is dedicated to people who want to learn business by watching movies and without getting bored.
