I’ve always enjoyed watching movies about money. Even though most of them are more about greed than actually building assets and making money, I still find them very motivating.
Here are 12 of my favorite movies about money. Ironically, most of these are also pretty violent movies.
- Wall Street
- Glengarry Glen Ross
- The Sting
- The Godfather
- Trading Places
- Indecent Proposal
- American Gangster
- Casino
- There Will be Blood
- Ocean’s 11 and the sequels
- Jerry McGuire
. . . and quite possibly one of the worst movies ever, but I still get a kick out of is Boiler Room. Remember this scene?
Warning - this clip has a lot of profanity
Millionaire Money Habit: While I don’t recommend crime and killing as a means to make your first million, these movies make for great entertainment and can provide some motivation.
What are your favorites?


Scarface!!!
Have you seen the Boiler Room Chain? Basically, there is a scene in
Boiler Room where Ben Affleck, Vin Diesel and others sit around
watching the movie Wall Street and quoting it. So these guys made a
video of themselves watching and quoting that scene in Boiler Room
where they are watching and quoting Wall Street. Its pretty
stellar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEF67pXzJgU The part where
the Vin Diesel gets up in front of the TV is the best.
