I just hope Oliver Stone wont turn this on into another Alexander the great movie.

Pursuit of Happyness was awesome.
Watched BeerWars too last night, and there's a few things you can pick up there on how to think to win over the big guys.

Also....we just had this thread like a month ago

Catch Me If You Can

 

[BlueYonder]

Risky Business, with a young Tom Cruise as a home-based entrepreneur. Made him a star. And Traffic, an ensemble picture about the drug trade.

Also, my favorite comedy: Trading Places.

I loved Catch me If You Can, but don't consider it a business picture. More of a cat and mouse suspense picture, closer to the spy thriller genre.

Some of these sound interesting esp glengerry (I love dialogue based movies). Better get downloading.

August (2008)

Fact about Layer Cake, I loaned them the scale they're using to weigh coke in the very first scene.

The cunts fucked it up as well.

That is all.

Office MILFs 3 and Secretary Gangbang 14.

Great titles.

Yeah I liked Startup.Com too, it's a pretty interesting documentary. Basically in the 90's these two guys start a web company that allows people to pay parking tickets online, and get big investments. The company goes to shit, etc.

Here's the trailer: IMDb Video: Startup.com

I wouldn't try and get any friends to watch it, they probably won't like it.


About Glengarry Glen Ross:
I just thought the plot was really thin, I was all pumped up for Alec Baldwin's character and his only part in the movie was his sales speech. Maybe the plot was funky because it was adapted from a Play? And the end really irritated me, I watched it like a year ago so I can't quite remember why, but the ending was disappointing. It felt like 2 hours of conversation like in Pulp Fiction, but the conversation wasn't interesting at all.

This is one of the most powerful movies ever made. The human condition is stretched out before us and shown up in all it's weakness and desperation. Brilliant movie.

Agreed, the fact that Glen Gary Glenross is about real estate hustling is beside the fact, it's a character study and what you mention about weakness, desperation, and human frailty is a recurring theme in most of David Mamet's works. I personally love the film but to each his own.
