The envelope please - classic business movies

The Academy Award broadcast is only days away.  Our house is movie crazy, and rightly so, with my son being a cinema studies major.  We plan a party every year, watching the broadcast and voting for our favorites.  At the end of the evening the results are tallied and a winner is declared. The prize?  A fake Oscar to keep in the possession of the winner until next year's broadcast.

But what movie would win, if the academy was looking at all the great business themed movies from over the years?   The Social Network and Wall Steet - Money Never Sleeps, would be this years picks to join some of the greats that have appeared over the years.

I compared some business blogs and lists that Forbes has done and a few titles come up over and over.  Including some titles you really wouldn't think of as "business movies".  See what you think.

Ciitizen kane     It's a wonderful life     Wallstreet   

Trading places     Glengarry glen ross     Office space

  Capitalism a love story     Insider      Modern times

 What would be on your list?
