Capitalism, Cronyism, sticktoitiveness, and, for the right price, you can buy anything.
These are:
- Chef
- Big Night
- Joy
- Jerry Maguire
- The Founder
- Spare Parts (arguably)
- The one about the guy who invented intermittent windshield wipers and spent his whole life suing the megacorp that stole his idea- Indie game: the movie
- Moneyball
Flash of Genius
Margin Call is about finance, not entrepreneurship, but it’s one of my favorite films.
It only lasted a season or two, but How to Make it in America was pretty inspiring as well.
Replace drug with any other product and the ingenuity of Walter White to scale the operations, hiring people, shifting operations to different locations, responding to competition makes it interesting.
Fundamentally, that show is about business and entrepreneurship. Sure, the industry might seem more than just a little shady and its methods often are ruthless, but basic business principles still apply (to quote one of the main characters: "Buy cheap, sell dear.").
Also the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged_(film_series)
The trilogy received predominantly negative critic reviews and the aggregate USA box office is just under $9 million, with each film performing worse than the last on both accounts.
There Will Be Blood also (for obvious reasons)
Seriously underrated. Based on the 80s.The most realistic drama about entrepreneurship and relationships I've ever watched.
Operations, People, Marketing, Sane decision making, Passion.
But not the US version. That's just drama.

Lord of War
Boiler Room
I second the other recommendation for Tetris.
