"Executive Suite" - The essence of running a business is captured beautifully in William Holden's speech to the board at the end.

"Glengarry Glen Ross" - great depiction of salemen selling a commodity on commission :-(

"Wall Street" - 20 years later and they're still cheating as much as ever.

"The Godfather" - notice all the references to the difference between what's personal and what's "strictly business".

"The Devil Wears Prada" - I just want people like Meryl Streep on my side.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" - Look at what life can be like if everyone just keeps working. (How many small businesses was that family running anyway?)

"Other People's Money" - similar to Wall Street, but a little more uplifting.
