Year: 1987
Cast: Cher, Nicolas Cage, and Olympia Dukakis
The character Cosmo Castorini, played by Vincent Gardenia, has the "hard sell" down pat, saying to a naive young couple: "There are three kinds of pipe. There's what you have, which is garbage—and you can see where that's gotten you. There's bronze, which is pretty good, unless something goes wrong. And something always goes wrong. Then there's copper, which is the only pipe I use. It costs money. It costs money because it saves money."

8. Something Ventured
Year: 2011
Cast: Bill Bowes, Herbert Boyer, and Po Bronson
Recommended by: Rich Lyons, dean of the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business
I recently saw Something Ventured by our alum, [producer] Paul Holland, which I really liked. It's about the history of the VC industry and Silicon Valley. As a documentary, it did a fine job of communicating what the founding actors of venture capital are really like. One gets the feeling that if this hadn't been captured like this today, it might never have been captured in this first-person way. Also, it's of personal significance since I grew up in the heart of the Silicon Valley. And while my family was not in the venture industry, several of my friends' families were. My early years corresponded closely with the industry's early years.
