What's your favorite real estate or business themed movie? For me, Wolf of Wallstreet is my #2, #1 is Glengarry Glen Ross, I never truly appreciated it until I watched it a 2nd time. What is yours?

I agree with Roger D. Mucci. "Pacific Heights". The sad part about this movie is that this can really happen in California.

Robert May - hardly any 'Bollywood' movies are based on Real Estate - the one I remember was 'Khosla Ka Ghosla' - good movie about real estate practice in some part of India.

Robert,
I guess I haven’t watched any. What very little HGTV I’ve watched has been fiction enough for me.

I really loved the eternal optimism that Annette Benning had as the Realtor in American Beauty plus I loved the film. The way she saw her "job" resonates with me-at least in my earlier years.
