Part - 3/4
9. Man in the Gray Flannel Suit
Year: 1956
Starring: Gregory Peck, Jennifer Jones, and Fredric March
Recommended by: Robert F. Bruner, dean of the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business
Based on Sloan Wilson's book by the same name—highly recommended reading, too. The film recounts the discovery by a 1950s "organization man" of the things that really matter, especially relationships and integrity. The story is one of the bellwethers of post-World War II reaction against conformist business culture.

Recommended by: Joseph Thomas, dean of Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School of Management, and Bob Dammon, dean of Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business
One of our finance faculty suggests that people watch this movie after studying futures and options. It can make people reflect on what they want from a career and life.

13. The Wizard of Oz
Year: 1939
Starring: Judy Garland, Frank Morgan, and Ray Bolger
Recommended by: James W. Dean Jr., dean of the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flager Business School
This famous classic showcases Industrial Age perfection in the Emerald City. Quote: "Snip, snip here, snip, snip there." It is intriguing that these exact production methods were used only a few years later to build tanks and airplanes for World War II, and in many American industries for decades afterward. Another great link between this film, warfare, and business is the Cowardly Lion's speech on courage, which concludes: "What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the 'ape' in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?"

14. House of Strangers
Year: 1949
Starring: Edward G. Robinson, Susan Hayward, and Richard Conte
Recommended by: Paul Danos, dean of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business
House of Strangers shows how microfinance worked in the ghettos of New York in the 1920s and '30s. The Gino Monetti character's banking success is based on lending money to neighborhood people with just a handshake, but that kind of "collateral" does not pass muster with the new breed of bank regulators.
