Must-see movies for product managers: your recommendations?

Question

Recently I have watched a couple of movies the main characters of which are the perfect product managers in my eyes 😍 they are Moneyball (2011) and The Founder (2016).
The cool thing is that these movies are based on real-life events and they got me really inspired with their message to get a new angle on your challenge/product. As if these movies are telling us: "The problem is not in the product itself, it's your tunnel vision."
What about you guys? Any recommendations for a good product manager-fit movie? 🤓

I do like the angle you look at the issue! However, it's not so easy to come up with a movie that would perfectly suit the subject... The only movie came to my head was You've Got Mail (1998); the main characters run their own bookstores of different scale, and their approaches differ drastically.

It's good movies, I watched them too. I can also recommend Office Space and The Social Network. I think you'll find them interesting. Recently I found Kodi for Firestick here https://www.firesticktricks.com/... and now I can watch any movie I want in excellent quality and without ads. This app is something!
