The Founder is a biopic of America’s legendary businessman and McDonald fast-food tycoon Ray Kroc. The movie clearly shows us how an entrepreneur should be thinking; even though the film has created many controversies, it’s fascinating to witness how a milkshake mixer salesman turned his path to become a billionaire businessman.

In the movie, the story shows the drastic situation that McDonald’s original owners have to face while not adapting to changes happening around them.

It’s a must-watch movie for every entrepreneur out there to boost that entrepreneurial spirit and think outside the box.

Steve Jobs (2015)

Steve Jobs, as the name, suggests it’s the biopic of America’s revolutionary businessman Steve Jobs. The movie shows us how Steve creates a multi-trillion dollar business tycoon and how he had to deal with his failures in life. The movie specifically shows us what could happen when a man becomes the soul of the business they found.

A realistic movie that could motivate you to become someone great as Steve Jobs. And the film has won the Golden Globe Award for best screenplay. So, enjoy the movie and get inspired.

The Wolf of the Wall Street (2013)

famous dialogue by DiCaprio

If you’re a DiCaprio fan, heck yeah! It’s a must-watch movie. This is a movie based on the true story of “stock trader” Jordan Belfort. It shows how his firm Stratton Oakmont engaged in penny stock trading and securities scam, drawing the attention of the FBI.

The movie showcases the entrepreneurial spirit that Jordan had when things were going south. A movie that showcases the luxury and influence that most people dream of having.

The movie is worth a watch, and it would truly give you a boost in spirit to do something real with your life even though things could go wrong.

The Social Network (2010)

Facebook, Yeah! The movie shows us how it all has started. The social network is one of the best movies to depict how Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook in his Harvard dorm room. Although largely fictionalized, the movie gives us a roller-coaster feeling on different instances of being an Entrepreneur.

Jesse Eisenberg has amazingly played the role of Zuckerberg, which could give everyone a sense of emotional connection with him. A great motivational movie for entrepreneurs and everyone alike.

The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

Never give up on your dreams, even when any obstacles come in. That’s the complete theme of the movie. Starring Will Smith and his son Jaden Smith, the movie is based on the true story of Chris Garner, who rose from poverty to become a wall street legend.

A truly inspirational movie that, if you haven’t watched, I recommend you to move it top of your must-watch movie list.
