"Boiler Room" is a good one. Purely motivational I'll have to go with "Dead Poet's Society".

OMG....you guys didn't say Glen Gary Ross. (Refrane from using the F word please- GP) best sales movie especially for real estate.

Can anyone remember the one that was about car salesman.....the one with the hot naked chick that stole the car lots car while he took her for a "test drive". Now those were some titties

Dead Poet's Society convinced me to get "Carpe Diem" tattooed on my left ankle ...How's that for a sales pitch ? LOL

Recently, I would have to say Erin Brokovich (the underdog comes out on top) and Jerry Maguire (Show Me The Money)

Erin Brokovish is a good motivating movie (for women mostly). Good choice.

Doesn't the main character commit suicide in "Death of a Salesman"? I remember reading it in college, but don't remember the ending exactly...

Erin Brockovich is a good movie - good example of perserverance paying off.

This is soo true. I've never had anything handed to me in life. I've always worked hard for everything and it's because of PERSEVERANCE. Perseverance is what defeats failure.

Erik

yes he in fact does. It taught me about my limitations as a human being and the value of 'quality of life' vs always making money. None of us want to end up like that.

Glad I haven't completely lost it yet. Keeping a balance between work and life was the theme then, right? I agree with you - that is a very important thing.
