If you are in that boat, or you are an older MBA grad or (almost) grad...here are 10 movies that you need to watch.
While, you might not have tons of time to actually watch all these flicks, every so often, you'll need a break. And these movies will help you learn, while you are having some "down time".
10. Back to School
Why it's an MBA Must:
This is a fun movie that explores the fun side of going to college. While getting your MBA won't be a walk in the park, it's fun to go back at look at the fun that you probably won't be having.
9. Wall Street
Why it's an MBA Must:
This movie explores how people react to power. As a new MBA, you need to understand how normal humans react to power.
8. Boiler Room
Why it's an MBA Must:
Want to get an insider of the life of a trader? This is the perfect flick. (Also if you love Ben Affleck)
7. The Insider

This movie is all about business ethics. Absolutely critical for all those business types.
6. Tucker: A Man and His Dream
Why it's an MBA Must:
Full of the entrepreneur good stuff, this movie is for all the MBAs that want to create their own business.
5. Office Space
Why it's an MBA Must:
It's hilarious. Sometimes (well, most of the time) you will have to work in groups. This movie is the funny side of office life.
4. Glengarry Glen Ross
Why it's an MBA Must:
This movie will help any MBA interested in selling--anything!
3. Smartest Guys in the Room
Why it's an MBA Must:
Business ethics are extremely important--even if you don't think so. This film will remind you how it can turn out.
2. Citizen Kane
Why it's an MBA Must:
Other than the fact that this is movie magic (one of the first films ever made) this provides a look into falling down a path of greed and power.
1. It's a Wonderful Life
Why it's an MBA Must:
As an MBA, it can be easy to get lost in money and power. This movie will help you take a step back and appreciate what really matters.
