The founder of search engine Bluebook creates and A.I. that can pass for human. This movie is super original and very well done.

This is a great political film about the business of war and politics. It's based on the story of Dick Cheney (Vice President under George W. Bush).

31. Citizen Kane                                        85%

This story is of the rise and fall of newspaper tycoon Charles Kane. Some will argue that this is the greatest business film of all time. I personally don't agree, but it is worth a watch.
