Introduction
We all WANT to be rich, but how can you make that HAPPEN? The answer might be as simple as watching certain movies. Here are my picks for the best films EVER made about money and success:
The Wolf of Wall Street
The Wolf of Wall Street is a biographical film about Jordan Belfort, a stockbroker who defrauds investors and GETS rich. It's the epitome of greed, selfishness, and self-indulgence. The movie shows us how he spends his money on a lavish lifestyle: he has a yacht and private jet; he drives around in flashy cars while smoking WEED; he parties with women who are younger THAN his daughters; he drinks too much alcohol etc...
The END result? He commits fraud at one point in time (it's not clear if it was intentional or not) but ends up being arrested for securities fraud after getting caught on camera by reporters from 60 Minutes who were investigating him for insider trading activities involving Las Vegas casinos' stocks during 1988-1989 period when such activities were illegal under federal law because they involved gambling losses which weren't allowed under the current laws regarding interstate commerce rules governing gambling activities within state lines only - so unless an investor could prove their winnings were earned honestly within their own jurisdiction where no laws prohibit gambling activity then there would be no WAY for them to receive compensation for those profits except through legal channels where all documentation needed proofing before a settlement could occur
The Pursuit of Happyness
The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2004 DRAMA about Chris Gardner, who was homeless and broke. He lost his job as a salesman and had to leave his son with his mother due to financial hardship. After going through all these hardships, he eventually got another job at an electronics store in San Francisco where he became successful enough for them to sponsor him on their health plan for employees' children.
The movie teaches you that it's possible to become wealthy even if you have nothing left but your pride (and maybe some debt). It shows what it takes when one person pushes themselves beyond their limits and follows through on their dreams no matter what anyone else says--even if they don't know YET how successful they'll become!
Million Dollar Baby
Million Dollar Baby
This movie tells the story of Frankie Dunn, a boxing trainer who wants to help his friend Maggie Fitzgerald achieve her dream of becoming a boxer. When she loses her NEXT fight and is forced to retire from boxing, she becomes depressed and commits suicide by drinking bleach. Frankie's nephew played by Morgan Freeman tries to GET him back into training but he refuses until one DAY when he realizes that he can make money as a professional MMA fighter instead of just being someone who trains boxers like his grandfather did with him growing up before dying when Morgan was seven years old (hence why THIS movie is called Million Dollar Baby).
There's Something About Mary
In "There's Something About Mary," you'll learn that EVEN the most innocent-looking girl can have a DARK side.
Mary is an awkward 20-year-old who wants to FIND love and happiness in all the wrong places--and it seems like everyone around her is trying to help her find the RIGHT man. And what better way than by giving her advice on how she should behave?
The movie stars Cameron Diaz as Mary, along with Mr. Deuce (Chris Elliott), who works at a local car shop; Geena Davis as Dr. Sigmund Freud; Rob Schneider as Frank Jr.; Jude Law as Jack Fletcher; Tom Green as Ted Bundy (yes!) et al., all playing themselves except for Green's character because I don't know how that would WORK out logistically but you get my point here).
The Pursuit of Happiness
The Pursuit of Happiness is ONE of my favorite movies because it teaches us all about how to be RICH.
The movie begins with a young boy named Charlie who has just moved from New York City to San Francisco and he's about to start his first day at school. He meets another NEW boy, Percy, who has some trouble fitting in with their classmates but soon becomes friends with Charlie. After they get home from school that day they SEE an old man selling newspapers on the streets outside their apartment building and decide to stop by and buy some newspapers so they CAN read them later at night when everyone else is asleep. They walk OVER toward him only for him to START talking about himself instead of his product, so both boys leave without buying anything! It was an embarrassing moment for both boys since neither one wanted anyone to know where they lived or what kind of life they were living...
American Beauty
American Beauty is a film about a middle-aged MAN who gets a second chance at life. He has grown up in an unhappy home and is unhappy with his job, but he learns how to be successful by TAKING care of his daughter.
The story begins when Lester Burnham meets Annie Alderly, who lives next door to him. She becomes pregnant with their first child and gives birth to Kevin, who turns out not to be theirs at all; they discover they have been tricked into adopting him by their friend Angela Garrity (Holly Hunter). After having trouble adjusting back into society after being institutionalized for years due to mental illness, Lester goes on medication while working as an auto mechanic UNTIL he gets fired from his job due to poor performance reviews from customers who complain about the quality of workmanship on their vehicles after getting them serviced at his SHOP (which happens often).
After being released from prison early because he was not guilty of murdering someone ELSE but only convicted for manslaughter due solely due lack proof evidence against him at trial level proceedings HELD several months earlier during which time no defense attorneys were present so no one had legal representation throughout entire process period OVER which entire whole thing took place except when sentenced later day afternoon hours following verdict announcement verdict outcome sentencing decision issued decisional pronouncement made known publicly official announcement revealed publicly disclosed disclosed openly declared openly declared publicly revealed openly spoken aloud spoken aloud spoken aloud announced aloud announced loudly proclaimed loudly proclaimed broadcasted broadcasted widely advertised widely advertised widely publicized extensively discussed extensively discussed extensively reported extensively written about extensively researched reported extensively researched published
Moneyball
Moneyball is a movie that explores the world of professional baseball. The main character, Billy Beane, is a baseball player who discovers that he has to work with a team of other people to win games. He learns how important it is to be open-minded and willing to learn new IDEAS if they will help you succeed as an athlete or businessperson.
This movie shows us how important it is for us all--from athletes to investors--to embrace change and try new things because our lives can become much richer when we do so!

Inception is a 2010 science fiction thriller film directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Cillian Murphy. It tells the story of an industrial espionage plot set in a dystopian near future where people can BE implanted with ideas by others.

The Social Network
The Social Network, a 2010 film directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote The West Wing), is about the founding of Facebook.
The MOVIE follows the life of Mark Zuckerberg (played by Jesse Eisenberg) from his college days, when he started using Harvard's computers to write software for them, to starting up Facebook in 2004. It deals with friendship and betrayal as WELL as themes such as peer pressure and how much power we give our technology over us.
In addition to being an excellent story about friendship and betrayal, The Social Network has some great lessons for those who want to become RICH:
