In this war of existence, where we see that emotions that contain true love and hope sooner or later open the perfect doors, we think that you must see this film that is based on a true story.

4. The Sad End of Ambition and Greed: The Wolf of Wall Street

You may be wondering if this movie should be on the list, but an entrepreneur who wants to be successful may need to keep in mind that it is important to be away from ambition and greed, or these may be characteristics of arch-rival. With such topics intensively shown, The Wolf of Wall Street was filmed in 2013, and it has an 8.3 IMDB score. This is a must-see movie in which the real-life story is depicted in an arrogant drama so as not to be caught in the clutches of exaggeration and luxury.

5. Winning Is in Small Details: Moneyball

Moneyball movie, adapted from a book to the motion picture screen, actually contains many messages that guide an entrepreneur’s stance against his rivals. Produced in 2011 and with an IMDB score of 7.6, the film actually describes baseball, not an entrepreneur. We must express that it is an inspiring film that tells about positioning yourself against rivals in sports, where dozens of attempts are honored with experience, not failure, and doing what you love so much is the real happiness in life. Furthermore, we think we can suggest that this movie inspired many athletes because both the entrepreneur and the athlete start a struggle for what he is committed to, in any case. This struggle also turns into a lifestyle in which he does his job better every day and is decorated with happiness. We hope that five different films could shed light on your path with important messages from the films, tips on life, and guiding details in the entrepreneurial adventure.
