44 Movies Every Entrepreneur Needs to Watch

[00:01] And this is a video I've been meaning to make for a while, because movies are a big part of my life, both personally and through business. And I honestly believe these 44 movies I'm going to share with you will do far more than any course or

[00:15] classroom can teach. because these movies that are like 2 to three hours long have shaped a lot of the business and personal decisions I've made that have led on to me well have led on for me to be able to start multiple

[00:28] different companies some of which reaching six seven figure valuations movies with you that I believe every single entrepreneur needs to watch. Drop that you recommend to me. Let me know in the comment section. I'd love to hear

[00:41] them. So without further ado, this list is in no particular order. Let's get into it. Number one is The Gentleman. Now, I'm a big fan of Guy Richie. I think he is very, very good when it comes to directing movies and when it

[00:54] comes to British directors, he's won the top of the tree, right? And The Gentleman especially, I'm a really big fan of because especi well because the way that Matthew McConnA plays his role. And what I really take from this film as

[01:06] an entrepreneur is the way that Matthew McConnA as someone that is the leader under pressure situations doesn't fold. Right? He's able to keep his brevity, keep his his calm, his composure, and make critical decisions when everything

[01:20] around him is seems to be going wrong and is ruthless in the right moments as negotiations, when it comes to making things are not straightforward all the time. Stuff goes wrong all the damn

[01:33] time. So having that that calmness in the key situations is key. Definitely watch a gentleman. Film number two, we've got Pulp Fiction. Now, Quentyn Tarantino is my favorite director of all time. And Pulp Fiction, when I watched

[01:47] changed a lot for me. And less about the film itself, but more about the timing of when the film came out and what it did for Hollywood. That's what I take away from this film. Because pre Pulp Fiction, Hollywood had some conventions

[02:00] that you just don't break. One of those conventions being that you have as little dialogue as possible in the movie. And if you do have dialogue, the purpose of it is to take you towards action, right? Like dialogue is just

[02:12] there as a vehicle to take someone to the next scene where action is going to is not seen as an important part of any movie. Secondly, nonlinear structures, right? Like every movie before Pulp Fiction pretty much followed beginning,

[02:26] middle, end, that was it. Pulp fiction ripped up both of those conventions. storyline. Like the fact that the movie just did not happen in order and you didn't really realize it until the final third of the movie was just so cool.

[02:40] I was mind blown that that was even a concept that you could even do that as a director. And then the second thing really focusing on dialogue, right? Like you fell in love with the characters Samuel Jackson, John Travolta, because

[02:54] it was two friends having a podcast. And this movie was made in like 93. I think it released in 1994. So we're talking over 30 years ago. And a lot of the friends chatting, like you would chat to to one of your best mates. So from that

[03:08] itself, but how Tarantino made the he broke, I took away a lot of those principles as an entrepreneur, because standard convention is. Like, who cares if it's standard convention, right? So

[03:21] you're planning to start a business or anything along those lines, sometimes shouldn't do. And that's what I took away from Pulp Fiction. Okay, next movie. Scarface. Arguably my favorite film of all time. A big lovehate

[03:35] Scarface. Some people say it's overrated. Some people say, "Oh, like how many people rate this film? It's not that good." I love Scarface, right? From fantastic. Every single entrepreneur should watch Scarface at least once in

[03:49] five, six times by this stage now. But one thing about Scarface that I really do like. And at the time when I first watched it, I hated this about the come to love it. And spoiler alert, by

[04:02] watched Scarface for this section. I love the way that it didn't have a good the film and Tony Montana, the main character, died at the end of the film, right? I was heartbroken. I was like, how could they kill him? Like he's Tony

[04:16] Montana, bro. Like how could they kill him off? But now that I've grown older, I've really come to love that that they actually didn't have a good ending to the film because that goes to show that you can really have that rise and that

[04:28] fall because Tony got too big for his boots, right? Like he made certain an icorus, right? He flew too close to the sun and he got burnt. And that's big for your boots, your ego becomes too big and you take your eye off the ball.

[04:44] Montana. So, in hindsight, I think it was an absolutely fantastic decision to that's also a lesson to myself that you can never get too arrogant, never get point in the movie, Tony Montana quite literally was the G, bro. Like, he was

[05:00] that way forever, especially if you get too arrogant. Okay, next film, Fight Club. This film I actually watched fairly recently, like only like 3, four years ago, given when it came out. That is fairly recently. And once again, a

[05:14] film that has a fantastic twist. Once you've watched this film once, you can't a second time, it just wasn't the same because you know the twist that's going to happen in the film. You ain't there's no point like watching it a second time

[05:26] really. Like you'll never you can obviously but it's not the same feeling time. This film is fantastic because it just strips back the consumerist and capitalistic side of Western society

[05:38] especially back to its roots, right? Like that's Fight Club. That's what it single person especially entrepreneurs to watch it and watch it as a way of to watch it and watch it as a way of like sort of understanding that a lot of

[05:52] society and hedonistic side of society is not what you should be pursuing in a America I was going to say American psycho spoiler spoiler alert another film on this list but that's what fight club really does so yeah I'd recommend

[06:05] Pitt is fantastic in this film likewise Edward Norton definitely watch this film next seven another Brad Pitt film We're reeling this off right now. Seven less great film to watch. It's just a psychological thriller. And I truly

[06:19] believe that if you are a decision maker like entrepreneurs, like business owners are, you're going to want to watch films where there's some kind of like psychological side to it because you'll learn a lot from those films. and Seven

[06:32] that although it's not directly applied to entrepreneurs in any way, appreciating how well a film is made, appreciating the the manner in which the

[06:45] in this case, Brad Pitt, who's like this junior detective trying to uncover this character who's always like two, three steps ahead of him. Appreciating it from it's a film that makes you think and I always think that's very valuable

[07:00] because you want to come out of a film having learned something or at least definitely does that. Recommend watching it. Next, Casino Royale. My favorite James Bond film and honestly revived the James Bond series which was kind of

[07:15] falling off to be honest. So, I've watched pretty much every Daniel Craig film. I grew up with Daniel Craig being my James Bond. Skyfall and Casino Royale rubbish. But Casino Royale is a fantastic film. And if you ever feel a

[07:28] little bit low on confidence, especially as a as a male, if you're like a man trying to be an entrepreneur, especially put on the James Bond film, man, because Bond, right? But like the guy just oozes like class, confidence from the way he

[07:43] dresses to the Aston Martin he drives, the Omega watches, like that sort of like very masculine sort of figure. It's a good film to watch and just inspire you, right? like because every young guy grew up wanting to be like a James Bond.

[07:57] I wanted to be a footballer or James Bond. Those were the two outcomes. Neither came to fruition. But that's what I had in my mind growing up. And Casino Royale epitomized that. Also, there's a very big lesson in the film.

[08:10] The lady, the Bond girl for Casino Royale, James Bond, by the end of the film was ready to basically just hang it all up and say, "I'm walking away from this this double life as a double agent. I'm going going away with this lady. And

[08:23] the end, she felt so bad she double crossed him. She basically axed herself off in a sense. Um didn't let him save her at the end of the film. And that whether we like it or not, you can't give away too much emotion to someone

[08:40] because they will take advantage. Next film, Air Quing a Legend. This is this is a niche one, right? I love this film. Like I only watched this film when it came out I believe in 2023 or 2022. Like recently this film came out and I've

[08:52] already watched it like four times. This film is so good, right? Like watch this film in conjunction with reading the shoe dog autobiography or biography um shoe dog autobiography or biography um by Phil Knight, the the owner of Nike,

[09:05] right? And this will make you respect Nike so much more. The respect I have for Nike, Nike as a brand, as a business after reading the book and watching this film has just exponentially risen. So, if you don't know Air Quing a Legend, no

[09:20] niche film. It's all about how Nike, who was basically failing as a basketball division. They were completely blown out the water by brands like Converse and Adidas at the time. Went on to bet all of their budget on rookie Michael Jordan

[09:35] and how they were able to convince him to join when Adidas was his top choice and just the way the film was made and the decisions they made. Not being once previously, right? Like Pulp Fiction, not being afraid to to go against

[09:48] certain conventions. Like in this case, they made a shoe, the NBA had a rule that every shoe had to be the majority white. They made a shoe that was the and they paid the fines because they wanted to make a statement. And lo and

[10:00] Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time. And Nike goes on to be Nike, the biggest sportsear brand, definitely of my generation. Watch Air Quilting a legend. Absolutely. Add it to your list. Next,

[10:13] The Matrix, right? Classic film. Everyone knows about The Matrix. Red Pill, Blue Pill became more popular after Andrew Tate, but still a classic film. Heavily recommend watching it. A lot of it scary like scarily is is

[10:29] coming to fruition, man. Even the whole thing about AI with the advancements AI has made, Chat GPT, Claude, Anthropic, etc. has made scarily like coming more and more true. But definitely a film I recommend watching. And who knows, is

[10:43] me. Next, Limitless. Love this film. Limitless is a film that really actually changed me when it came to productivity because I suffered a lot from pro lot of people do. And after watching Limitless, the premise of the film is

[10:59] Bradley Cooper is fantastic. He takes he's like this writer that's down in the dumps, not really getting anything done, procrastinating all the time. His his like the geese is at rock bottom basically, right? and his wife's

[11:13] brother-in-law from his wife whoever it is I can't really remember has this pill and he tells him look just take one of these pills this pill the limitless pill basically just makes makes you hit flow state like this and you will be locked

[11:26] in like your IQ will exponentially rise your EQ will exponentially rise like got trade markets learning languages learning skills he became the epitome of what every human strives towards from a productivity standpoint like he was just

[11:40] him, the way he dressed, his confidence, the skills he had, everything. And it all came from just taking a pill, right? So, what I used to do, and it's going to sound a little bit cringe, but I used to take these magnesium supplements, right?

[11:53] these magnesium supplements, I was taking a limitless pill, and then I taking it. Sounds super cringe, but it kind of worked for a few months. The point I I'm I'm making is everyone has potential to have that limitless

[12:05] pill for it. You just need to unlock it within you. like everyone has that potential. You shouldn't need the pill to get there or do what I did and just whatever supplements are your are your limitless pill. But yeah, next

[12:18] Interstellar. These are this is one of the few films, right? And I do not cry, but I cried during Interstellar. And Interstellar watch regardless if they're an entrepreneur or not. The one list I'm

[12:33] going to take from Interstellar is from an entrepreneurial standpoint not being afraid and having the courage importantly to make tough decisions even if it's going to hurt the people around you. Matthew McConnA who was fantastic

[12:48] in this film makes a decision that's going to hurt his children and hurt himself but he does it for the greater good of humanity by getting on that behind knowing he's probably never going to see them again. And there's one scene

[13:01] in the film that like I said I I don't cry at all really especially when it comes to movies but I cried at that scene where he goes and has to land on this planet to get some data and the way time works on this planet for every like

[13:13] 30 minutes there it's equivalent to like 5 10 years on planet Earth right so even though they're on that planet for like an hour two hours maximum by the time they get out of it earth has moved forward by like 30 40 years and he gets

[13:25] some recordings from his family and bearing in mind he left his two kids when they were like teenagers if that and he watches the videotapes and the kids are like grown adults now like they're his age with their own family

[13:38] own kids and I teared up when I saw that scene right and that just shows the an entrepreneur because I know myself right like I've made sacrifices in my journey seeing my loved ones less than I probably should spending less time doing

[13:53] I could be doing to make other people happy for example like going to certain places going to fun events, yada yada yada. But sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good, and Interstellar really really showed that

[14:06] to me. Okay, those are the first 10 movies knocked off. Next, we've got Margin Core. Now, Margin Cool hit home for me for a couple reasons. Number one, both my parents work within the banking industry. And secondly, I actually

[14:19] worked at a bank. That was my first ever job. I I quit after four months, but I did work at a bank, right? And Margin Call is all about the 2008 financial crisis. And it's a big movie to watch, especially if you're employed right now,

[14:31] because it kind of at an extreme level showcases that within your job, you really are just a number. And I say that in its literal sense where you could not be at fault, but the people above you, if you need to go, they will get rid of

[14:45] that's kind of what it's like because the premise of this film is that this intern with the help of someone that recently got laid off discovers that the they're overleveraged in a certain position. He's then told his senior

[14:59] senior who's told his senior all the way up to the top of the bank. And they realize, okay, we've got to make a move on this. And then they do. And the cascade of that is they have to completely flip their position. The bank

[15:13] ends up being fine. It survives. But who lo who who loses out? The people at the interns, the people just starting out. Some people taking the fall when it the seniors. And the seniors, their

[15:26] going up and up and up. They take more dividends. They get more bonuses and standpoint. So, it really goes to show that you have to sometimes have your own business in a way to have total control

[15:39] really just a number. Next movie, Wolf of Wall Street. I mean, come on. Does this movie need any introduction? The movie that epitomizes the American dream in a sense, right? Alongside Scarface, where you can go

[15:53] from nothing to something, a movie I watched before I was 18. And look, I is one of the most mature films on this list, but I truly believe that if you if

[16:05] watch this film if you're younger than 18, right? And it is just an amazing amazing film for the way it's told. The favorite genre of movie alongside gangster movies. The way it's told,

[16:19] right? Like Jordan Belelffort from struggling stock broker that just got struggling stock broker that just got laid off because the the crisis to flipping his life around basically building his own business having all the

[16:32] the hedonistic side to things and then just like Scarface it tips over the it all starts come crashing down on him. FBI start investigating etc etc. So very good movie I recommend everyone to watch. Next Marty Supreme. Now I watched

[16:47] this film on the 1st of January 2026 right started the year watching this movie Marty Supreme and when I came out the cinema I said I am going to make this like epitomize 2026 for me. This movie I love it. Timothy Shalamé was

[17:02] fantastic. Interestingly, Josh Safy, the man that d another movie on this list that he directed. And I came out the cinema and I did not know Josh Safy directed Marty

[17:14] Supreme. But I said coming out the cinema, I said, you know what, like this film reminds me a lot of Uncut Gems, which is directed by Josh Safy as well. afterwards and I realized, oh, it's the same director that directed both. And it

[17:27] made total sense because both movies, the way they're they're written and breakneck speed. It's like a movie told on Aderal like million miles per hour. And what I like about the movie is Timothy Shalamé's character basically

[17:43] exasperates everything that's right and wrong with entrepreneurs self-belief and he will do whatever it takes to get to his position and every to help him succeed. Borderline narcissistic, right? And that's a good

[17:58] it's also a bad thing because when you step back and see from a second hand good person. But there's a lot of entrepreneurs like your Elon Musk, like epitomize a lot of the traits that Marty Supreme has. So it goes to show

[18:13] to this. Like if you want to be an entrepreneur, some of the traits that way you need to possess to get to the position you inevitably want to get to. Next film, American Psycho. Now like Fight Club, this film sort of showcases

[18:29] the the capitalistic side of of society, Western society, America, the hedonistic side of things. What I really love about this film as an entrepreneur is when I started my online businesses, I was at university, right? And no one really at

[18:42] university knew what I was doing when it came to outside of university work. But reputation. It's like within school, you have your hierarchy like who's the smart kids, who's the less so smart kids. And I'll be honest at university I was not

[18:54] spending so much time outside university I did not have as much time to revise so I was near down the bottom side and so in a way you get underestimated right your peers and I always when I watched this film American Psycho it kind of

[19:09] made me sort of own that image like within university I'm this one person that everyone sees that oh we doesn't really revise that much bit of like as then outside university what no once. He's just like an American psycho. The

[19:24] second side to him. I'm like working hard, trying to start an online trying to basically go from ground zero and build a name for myself. So, I kind of epitomize American Psycho in my own

[19:36] life from that perspective. Obviously, not being a serial killer behind closed doors, but being someone that has their own business, etc., etc., behind closed how I took American Psycho. If you feel like you're at work right now, at school

[19:49] or whatever, friends, maybe even family, you can really sort of use that American Psycho image of having like a double life in a way. It's kind of cool to to have that. Next, Gladiator, Russell Crowe. I mean, a film about persistence.

[20:05] A man that was beaten to the ground, both physically and metaphorically, man. Like family, slaughtered becomes the gladiator. Even the the emperor is like, "No, thumb down. We

[20:19] need more people to take you out." And just time after time bouncing back from defeat. It's a great movie about resilience. If you're feel like you're basically just hit rock bottom, it's a film to watch and it's a film that makes

[20:32] film to watch and it's a film that makes you really think like it it really humans can overcome so many obstacles. Like humans are so capable yet when you really not. Like you can really bounce back. Watch watch Gladiator for absolute

[20:46] sure. Next, Cars. The only animated film on this list, the only real kids film on this list as well, but Cars is just that movie as a kid that I watched, man. That was like my Pixar movie that I was like, "Yeah, this was the film for me, man."

[21:01] Like, it was always Cars and Cars 2 and three are rubbish. Don't bother watching them. But Cars 1, what a movie. Like the way even the opening scene to the way the film progresses from this arrogant ego young race driver to turning into

[21:17] someone that really appreciates his team around him, has humility and goes on to actually give up winning the trophy because of the lessons he's learned Lightning McQueen did not win the Piston Cup. I was crashing out. But obviously

[21:33] getting older, you appreciate the film more. So yeah, if you're someone that never be too old to watch Cars. Understand the humility and place here that you do need a team to win sometimes and it's not just a oneman army. Next

[21:46] film, War Dogs. Love this film. Absolutely love it. Absolutely love it. I think War Dogs has got to go down as I think War Dogs has got to go down as one of the most underrated films in the

[21:59] 2010s in my personal opinion. It has got potential to have the level of respect that a Wolf of Wall Street could have potential for it from an film was written, it's a biopic as well based off a true story. And these two

[22:13] imposter syndrome or you feel like you're going to have imposter syndrome, watch War Dogs because these two young boys, right, who basically just smoking drugs on the weekend managed to infiltrate government

[22:28] contracts. like one of the most heavily sort of like guarded, closed off industries and they become arms dealers for the government. Like it's just a interesting film. For anyone that feels like they're lacking confidence or

[22:42] aspiration or has some kind of imposter syndrome, watch War Dogs. Next film, Kingsman. Now, I've I've put down here on my list. It's on my computer beside I've forgotten its name. There's a few Kingsman films. Only the first one's

[22:55] good, man. the second one and the one after that. Don't bother watching it. And the reason I love the Kingsman film is because it's it's it's personal to me in a sense where the main character, Exy, right? He's like a bit of a chav, a

[23:09] bit of a road man that goes on to be become this gentleman James Bondesque spy and a lot of the film he's out of place. He feels like he's got that imposter syndrome, but then he turns out to really take the role on, beat out

[23:22] everyone from these private schools and extreme funding to get to his position. and utilizes that to his advantage. So, he gets the best of both worlds. And the reason I internalize this is because I don't come from from a rich family, not

[23:35] working-class, to lower middle-ass family, right? I come from North London, whatsoever. You can probably tell by my accent. yet because of the businesses

[23:47] I've built and the opportunities I've had to go to some amazing places, meet frankly go to restaurants and events that only wealthier people would go to.

[24:00] Saying it frankly, and I feel like I don't fit in when I go to those places because of my upbringing, because of the way I am. It's just the way it is. But feel like, you know what, anyone can adapt to certain situations. And over

[24:13] time, I feel like I've adapted to be in those places, right? While still maintaining my my upbringing and that side to me. So, yeah, really good film everyone to watch it. Next film, Django Unchained. Now, I've never watched the

[24:27] original Django, but Django Unchained, another Quentyn Tarantino movie is fantastic. Jamie Fox is fantastic. Samuel Jackson, his role is like a film. I mean, it's just a badass film, man. About a slave that gets freed and

[24:43] man. About a slave that gets freed and goes to free his wife. Unafraid, leader, courage, every trait you need in a winner, Jamie Fox's character possesses, Django possesses in this film. Absolute

[24:58] mustwatch on this list. Next, Coach Carter. One of my favorite sports films of all time. If you're a leader, Coach Carter is a Basketball coach that comes in, joins a team, a lot of the players are, let's be

[25:13] honest, from the hood, have a bit of an attitude problem, bit of an ego problem. Coach Carter comes in and he instills real humility in his players, right? And he doesn't lead by shouting necessarily. He leads by example and he's unwavering

[25:31] in his tone. Doesn't fold. He doesn't bend, but he's humble at times. And that the guy's name, where he showed him up in the gym, and in a way he got physical

[25:43] with him just showed that sometimes you do need to take brute force if it gets capable of it. But I think the whole film is fantastic. Samuel Jackson is every single person to watch Coach Carter. Next, there's a double two in

[25:58] one. Godfather 1 and Godfather 2. You don't need to watch Godfather 3. It's not that great. But Godfather one and two, watch them both. Michael Corleó in this film needs to be studied if you want to be an entrepreneur, right? Like

[26:12] Michael Corleó's character development is in my opinion the greatest character development I've seen across any film series from a man that was in the army

[26:25] series from a man that was in the army comes back sort of being told by Vto the family business. this is going to be taken over by Sunny. You go do your own thing. To inheriting the family business, being a cold-hearted, brutal

[26:41] decision maker, his levity, certain scenes, like the way he conducted himself around Fredo. Incredible. Incredible, man. Like, I watched The under the age you should watch it, but is what it is. Um, and I harnessed a lot

[26:58] of Michael Coron's attributes in myself, right? Like in some of the things I do, having that cold-hearted decision- making sometimes being unwavering and steely. Like there's one scene,

[27:12] right, where Vito Corleó, I believe, has been shot and he's in hospital and the enemies realize, oh crap, he's alive. We have to go and finish a job. And Michael Corleone is standing outside the

[27:25] trained bodyguard. And the trained bodyguard is like shaking. He's got like he can't because he's shaking. And Michael Corleó stone cold just lights up the cigarette. Not a not a nerve in his body or if there's a nerve he's not

[27:40] showing it. And that's what made sort of him realize and anyone watching the film realize that he's built for this, right? Like destiny comes in multiple ways. analyzing Michael Coron's character. So, I geek out when it comes to The

[27:52] Godfather and Michael Kleome, but it's all about like destiny, right? Like Michael that was not made for this growing up, but he was built for this role. Like whether he liked it or not, he reached where he was meant to go,

[28:04] which was being the Dawn Don taking over from his father as the youngest sibling. And what a character, man. What a couple of films. Godfather Godfather 3 kind of missed the mark in my opinion. But Godfather 1 and two, fantastic films.

[28:19] Next, another niche shout, right? The platform, a non-English film. I believe platform one, there's a platform two. I'll be honest, you only really need to watch platform one or two. They kind of repeat themselves.

[28:33] What this film is, and it's a bit of like a horror film, horror thriller is opposite way of doing a jail sentence. You join the platform and there's two people on every single floor. And at the start, you say, "What is your favorite

[28:47] food?" and they just bring down a platform every day with everyone's with is they don't just give everyone their food one by one. The platform has all of could eat as much as they want, the platform that stays each for like 5 10

[29:03] they wanted, like if I ordered chicken wings and and I just had chicken wings and that was it, everyone would eat. Everyone would be fine. But it goes to wouldn't just eat their meal. They'd eat every single meal. And by the time it

[29:16] starve because there's no more food left them were too greedy. That's the premise of the film. Now, in terms of an analogy and a metaphor for life, the people at the top get everything. People at bottom

[29:30] wealth and people try to climb to the top, but people above them don't let them climb. So, it's a film that really just is a someone that is been a little bit honistic or wants a film that can make

[29:44] them really think and and wants a good metaphor, I'd watch The Platform. It's on it's on Netflix, I believe. Next, The Hangover. Now, The Hangover one, two, and three. I've watched all three of them. Again, just like The Platform,

[29:57] very similar between all three films. My favorite is probably maybe number two, as well. The premise is simple. They lose their friend. They have to get them before their the wedding day. I believe it's Doug that they lose, right? What is

[30:12] good about this film is it's making sure to stay calm in stressful situations, right? Like they've lost their friend. Obviously, not ideal whatsoever. Stay calm, reverse your steps, take decisions, and you will get to the

[30:26] sit here and say it's the best film for entrepreneurs to watch, but it's a fun film, and I recommend every single person to watch it. Next, Creed 2. Now, this list, but I opted for Creed instead, and in particular, Creed 2. And

[30:39] the reason being, I actually watched Creed 2 before I watched Creed 1. Crazy, I know, but I watched Rocky ages ago, then Creed 1 came out, didn't really thought, you know what, let me watch Creed 2. And I'm going to choose Creed 2

[30:52] particular reason only. There's a desert scene where Michael B. Jordan is training in a desert to fight Victor Drago. And I promise you when I watched this scene, that was the hardest I've ever gone in the gym. For like 3 months

[31:07] after watching that scene alone, I was at peak gym productivity. Like I was going gym every single day. That film from a physical standpoint inspired me

[31:19] differently. Like that. Don't even watch the film if you want. Just watch the desert scene. Creed 2 desert scene. Type up on YouTube and watch it. Bro, what a up on YouTube and watch it. Bro, what a scene. So if you want to stay in like

[31:32] physical condition and build yourself up physically, watch Creed 2 if you need some like motivating in that department. Fantastic. Next film, Bronx Tale. What a film again, man. What a film. So Bronx Tale, the premise of it is the main

[31:46] character's got like two dads. He's got his main dad, Robert Dairo, his biological father, who's a law-abiding citizen, bus driver, takes him to the the baseball games on the weekend. like a really good man. And then on the other

[31:59] side, he's got his second father who is head of the mafia, head of a gang who teaches him the real street side of life, like the uncomfortable truths. And life, like the uncomfortable truths. And the way the two fathers interact with

[32:14] with the son and the way he sort of takes advice from both of them is so good, man. And the lessons I learned about sometimes not caring about what point where he's got his friends, let's and let's his friends are losers, right?

[32:29] like, "Cut these guys off. There's going to be nothing but bad news for you." And those kids end up a bad fate ends up happening to them and thankfully his that father pulled him away from those kids at the right time otherwise he

[32:43] would have suffered the same fate. And it just goes to show sometimes that a lot of those like scenes from that movie is just so quotable. You probably see clips of them all over Instagram as well, but not being afraid sometimes to

[32:55] make your own decision. How to like lead a team. Very good movie. Next, Shutter Island. Just like Fight Club, this movie's got a twist that once you watch it once, you can't really watch the movie again. Like it's it's had that

[33:09] You can't really watch it again. But what a film. Again, psychological you're an entrepreneur, you need to watch a lot of psychological movies, Island is exactly that. Leonardo DiCaprio is amazing in this film. Must

[33:24] DiCaprio is amazing in this film. Must watch. Jaws. Jaws. Watch because you need to appreciate movie making, right? Like Jaws came out in 1975, I want to say. Like it is easily 50 years old. Easily, right? And this film when it was

[33:40] made, just like Pulp Fiction, was a real trends setter for cinema. And so for the film itself, like what actually happens inside the film, but for the context of the film being made to really appreciate it. And that's Jaws. Just

[33:53] like Pulp Fiction, watch it to appreciate that cine cinematography. appreciate that cine cinematography. Watch the film that didn't exist before Jaws. Like not only the films didn't exist, that whole genre did not exist.

[34:05] And you have to really appreciate that by watching Jaws. Next, Catch Me If You Can. Fantastic film for entrepreneurs to watch. Leonardo DiCaprio again is in this movie and it's all about a guy that frauds the the CIA FBI for so long

[34:20] different job roles and cashing checks and at the peak he was like this um pilot could not fly a plane for his life but he was pretending to be a pilot cashing all these checks and why this is

[34:32] I don't like the phrase fake it as you make it but if you move with enough yourself even if you're not at the position you want to get to if you act bit like have that confidence have that self-belief you can get there and people

[34:46] get to that position in a way you have to like visualize it before you achieve it and that's what catch me if you can really instills in you so definitely a mustwatch film as well next on the list blood diamond another leand DiCaprio

[34:59] one of my favorite actors it seems like with the amount of times I've mentioned him on this list about the the blood diamond trade in Sierra Leone uh during diamond trade in Sierra Leone uh during the civil for once again a great film

[35:13] for not only the film itself is great but really I'm trying to phrase this in the right way but knowing who to trust in this film like the main character I forgot the actor's name he obviously

[35:27] finds this humongous diamond that can retire him and his family and he has to to go back to retrieve it and making the decision to trust Leonardo DiCaprio's character in that in that moment was was obviously a tough decision for him, but

[35:41] he chose to do it and in the end everything went went to plan on his side right moments. This movie really encapsulates that. Next, Snatch. I come in this list and Snatch is there. Now, I was contemplating between Snatch

[35:56] Now, I was contemplating between Snatch and um Locktock and Two Smoking Barrels. I went with Snatch. Very, very similar in in those two films how they make you feel. Snatch is just a fantastic movie, man. Like once again, I think um I

[36:12] forgot the guy's name, the guy that's in Fast and Furious. I've literally Jason Statam, that's his name. Fantastic in this movie as well. His character, good British person, you should be watching Snatch 100%. Fantastic film to watch.

[36:27] Once again, a movie about decision- making, trusting your team behind you, making, trusting your team behind you, not being afraid to make decisions that not being afraid to make decisions that can have consequences.

[36:41] Fantastic movie. Okay, next film, Knives Out. Knives Out, murder mystery film. There's Knives Out 2 and I believe Knives Out 3 as well I watched which concept. You can watch any of them. I'm going to go with Knives Out one. A good

[36:56] film about that makes you think. That's why I like it. Psychological film, murder mystery film can help you in certain ways like spot patterns and decision- making. So, a good film to watch. Next, this the most

[37:09] recent film I've watched on this list. I watched it on the plane actually coming to Colombia for this vacation and it's called him. And not a lot of people would have watched this film. It's a Jordan Peele film. And if you've watched

[37:23] Out for example, you will know the premise a lot of his films have, which is they're a little bit crazy, like they're psychological, a little bit crazy. And him I like because I love sports. And it's about this this player,

[37:38] become an NFL player, has a horrendous injury, then ends up going to train with position. And the film just gets more and more creepy as it goes on. It and more creepy as it goes on. It ventures into cult life and etc etc. And

[37:53] I think it's a great film to watch to really understand the sacrifices to make to reach the top and whether the sacrifices are really worth it. So if you are sort of on your journey, watch this film. It's a creepy creepy

[38:08] film, but it really makes you appreciate sacrifices. And sometimes the guy's for the better and worse where you're like he's making certain decisions he would never have made at the start of the film, but in the environment he's in

[38:22] and the peer pressure he's making certain decisions. So watch him. Next film, Now You See Me, Now You Don't. I love this film at the time when it came out. And once again, like Shutter Island and Fight Club, it has a twist in the

[38:35] middle of the movie. Morgan Freeman is fantastic in this film as well. A film also about thinking, about doing the making the right moves, not being afraid of higher powers, higher authorities in place. Really good film to watch. Now

[38:50] of them. They're rubbish. But the first one's really good. The Big Short. At its time, my favorite movie, The Big Short, right? Like I told you, both my parents banking and they got hit hard by the

[39:04] 2008 financial crisis. Now, I studied economics at a level, right? But I wasn't a massive fan of economics. But actually since leaving school and watching certain films like the big short I've had different sort of like

[39:19] interest towards economics and the big short really epitomized that man like just a fantastic film to teach you about banking, finance. If you're an

[39:31] these sort of things and the big short is just amazing film like incredible film. Everyone has to watch it. Next film, No Country for Old Men. Now, I've forgotten the actor's name. He's also the Bond villain in Skyfall. This guy in

[39:46] the Bond villain in Skyfall. This guy in this film is so good. So, so good. I name. I think it's come to me out of nowhere. Sorry if I butchered his name. He is so good in this film. Like coldarted

[40:00] decisions he makes. There's one point where he and I'll never forget this scene ever, right? And I watched this film a long time ago. He's in a gas station and he flips a coin and he tells the guy heads or tails. The guy's like,

[40:13] he goes heads or tails. The guy goes heads or tails, whatever he does. And it lands on the one the guy selected and Javier Bard just walks out the store. tails. He might have shot the guy before you know that's the sort of character he

[40:26] is. What a film. What a character that guy What a film. What a character that guy is. Watch this film, man. Just watch No Country for Old Men. Put it on two and a half hours. Watch it. Next film, The

[40:39] Pursuit of Happiness. What a film. Will Smith, his son, Jaden Smith. Another film. I said I don't cry often at films. This one almost brought me to tears when Almost brought me to tears. This film didn't know, but that close. What a

[40:54] didn't know, but that close. What a film, man. About believing in yourself, not being afraid when the obstacles are in the way. Fantastic film. Fantastic film. Next film. Another niche list one on the list that no one will talk about

[41:06] again. Brian Banks. Brian Banks is a biopic. True story about a aspiring NFL biopic. True story about a aspiring NFL player that got a false

[41:18] uh sexual assault claim on him and it ruined his career. But the whole time it was false. He didn't give up. He didn't just go a yada yada yada. He fought for

[41:30] fought for his cause. And eventually in court the judge decided, you know what, you're not guilty. And I cried at the at films, but I cried at the end of that film, right? Because the journey going

[41:43] with the character, this Brian Banks character throughout the film where you're like, you know, he's innocent, but you're just like, he can't prove it. And the empathy I felt I felt for him throughout that film, or sympathy, I

[41:56] throughout that film, or sympathy, I should say, was like incredible. like watched throughout my time watching so Banks man it will give you a different perspective about life about challenges

[42:08] you you face and never giving up. Next film, Moneyball. Love my sports movies. And Moneyball is definitely up there, right? Like Moneyball brings me back to a Turkish saying, right, which is Andidar in

[42:22] saying, right, which is Andidar in Turkish culture and sayings. Basically means make do. Like make do with it, get on with it in a way. And the reason I love this word and this phrase when it

[42:34] comes to Moneyball is is because Moneyball epitomizes that. Brad Pitt, who is the general manager of the Oakland A's MLB team, he's not got the budget. The New York Yankees do or the Dodgers do, but and he's just lost

[42:49] saying we got to replace a star player, he goes, "We can't replace a star we got to have a different approach." And they end up going for players that are basically using a numerical algorithm, severely, severely underrated

[43:03] amongst other teams and scouts. and they build a team that goes on a crazy winning streak and just absolutely takes the uh MLB by storm. And that sort of method has been adopted going forward across every major sports league within

[43:18] America. And the reason this film is great for entrepreneurs is because when when you're starting out, you ain't got the budgets that big teams and big companies do. But what you do have is you have agility and you have the

[43:31] ability to make sharp decisions. And sometimes you have to make decisions to think outside the box. And Moneyball epitomizes that. And also when people are shutting down your door saying you got to go, what are you doing? Stick to

[43:44] your morals. Stick to your guns. Money ball is fantastic for that. Next movie, Saw. Another psychological film, psych psychological horror. There's about need to watch the first one. In fact, I only watched the first one. I didn't

[43:56] bother watching the rest of them because it's the same concept. But it's a good at the end of the movie. It's good psychological film to watch. Incredible to to think about the limits of humans

[44:10] protect themselves and their family. Great film to watch. Next, Uncut Gems. Man, what a film. Josh Safi quickly becoming one of my favorite directors. I spoke to Marty Supreme about how the film gave me vibes of Uncut Gems and it

[44:25] did for good reason. This movie is at like a million miles per hour. It's the movie is on ado. It is just blistering speed and you're in the sort of like you're teleported within the mind of Adam Sandler as this

[44:41] watch sort of jewelry dealer in New York whose life is falling apart but he refuses to believe it. He's an obsessive drinker obsessive gambler cheat on his wife hedonistic to the absolute maximum standpoint but always of like the

[44:54] I'm going to make out. I'm going to make out. Just like when he feels he's got of his past decisions come crashing down on him. Great film, just like Scarface what happens when you get too big for your your boots. About the fact that

[45:10] and you can't just keep layering over decisions and hoping you're going to break out of it, right? Like everything that happens has got a paper trail and it will come back to bite you if you don't do something about it.

[45:23] Next F1 movie. Watch this recently. Brad Pit again. and dams and interest. Fantastic movie. Really good movie about being told you're not good enough or you're too old for something if you're

[45:36] entrepreneur. Obviously not a true story. Well, not really true story, but lessons as you can with a biopic, which is why I love biopics, but still a is why I love biopics, but still a fantastic movie to watch. Next, the most

[45:50] recent film I watched in the cinema on this list, Michael. The Michael Jackson Now, whether you like or dislike Michael Jackson, this movie sheds a lot of insight into him as a person, him as him and his character. And I think that's

[46:04] powerfully, it sheds a lot of insight into his father. And his father not into his father. And his father not being a great man, but a man that made decisions for a reason and kind of took his

[46:19] where he wanted them to go. and it was tough love, but he got them to where he want to add on the back of this with Michael because it's very similar. It's called King Richard. Very similar film, but this time it's the father of Serena

[46:36] and Venus Williams. And obviously in a sport tennis which is predominantly dominated by white rich upper class folks to have two ladies from Compton of

[46:48] ranks and we all know about Serena and Venus Williams now household names but his their father actually planning this from the get-go and everything he planned coming to fruition. Fantastic movie. So those two in conjunction, not

[47:01] for necessarily the characters Serena and Michael Jackson, but actually for the fathers in this film. You'll learn a lot. Next film, Parasite. Voted the best film of this decade. I wouldn't go that far, but still a very good film to

[47:15] far, but still a very good film to watch. A good film about being cunning check like chess sort of player, thinking multiple steps ahead. thinking multiple steps ahead. and a film also about

[47:28] losing your cool sometimes and not having that stoicism and learning to regret life be well regret your decisions because of it because this well. So yeah, recommend watching Parasite. And last but not least, Ali

[47:44] film by our pick about Muhammad Ali. arguably one of the greatest sportsmen of all time, if not the greatest. Self-declared the greatest. Will Smith is fantastic in this role. Muhammad Ali won the inspirations of mine from a

[47:58] boxing standpoint, from a confident standpoint, from believing in your morals, standing by yourself, your team when everyone's against you. Fantastic when everyone's against you. Fantastic movie to watch. That rounds up all 44

[48:11] movies on this list that I believe every entrepreneur should watch. Commit two to teach you more than any classroom or course ever will. I Well, trust me when If I've missed out any movies, let me know in the comment section. I'll be
