The Best Movie About Business

I saw A Most Violent Year  last night.  This is one of the better movies I have seen on the nature of business and what it means own a business.  The context is the fuel oil business in 1981 NYC - but the issues are universal.  You have competition, the importance of sales, the need for growth, finance and dealing with banks, and employee relationships.  The scene in which the owner lectures the new sales trainees on the art of selling fuel oil is brilliant - - get this clip and show it to your employees. Running a business is a uniquely complex endeavor - - this movie gets at the complexity better than most "business" movies on the big screen.
