Top 16 Best Finance Movies On Netflix

16) Bitconned

Cryptocurrency is a highly unregulated market. Taking advantage of this fact, the three benefactors and makers of Centra Tech engineer a deceitful and fallacious ICO.

This leads them to swindle a hefty sum of $32 million from the shareholders. However, things take a dark turn when their lavish lifestyles is threatened by their conniving schemes being revealed. This documentary navigates through the dark waters of cryptocurrency and the legal percussions that come with it.

15) Bankrolled

Bankrolled is a Mexican film. The film is about two friends who pitch the idea of a bold new social justice app. The following day, they received a notification saying they had received funding for the app and now had to create it.

In the end, one of the friends, Polo, took all the credit for the idea, and to get his revenge, another friend coded the app, hid the visibility of likes, and made public ranking invisible, making their app go down. Due to heavy criticism, users uninstalled their “SignNow” app, and the idea lost its potential.

14) Get Smart With Money

The movie is very informative; It is a 90-minute documentary about great financial investors sharing tips for households on how to spend less and make more money. The film revolves around four households facing a financial crisis.

The film is very informative but could be better as it gets boring at some point and is also a waste of potential as it is hard to relate to the characters. Also, as per some viewers, Netflix edited movies to better appeal to viewers. But you can try this; it may suit your interests better.

13) The Minimalists: Less Is Now

The Minimalists: Less Is Now is an American documentary film. The story revolves around two friends, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus. The Minimalists have reworked this phrase to create a sense of urgency for today’s consumer culture: now is the time for less—the Minimalists’ friends demonstrate the benefits of living according to minimalism. The movie was nominated for a Daytime Emmy.

12) Rising High

Rising High is a German film directed and written by Cüneyt Kaya. The plot is about the one who should be ready to do anything to get rich, a young man who upends the Berlin property market with his shady pal until the good times threaten to destroy it all.

The movie’s story is about the rise and fall of three corrupt real estate agents who worked smartly and gained a lot of wealth and respect in a short time but ended up with greed and drugs.

11) Baazaar

Baazaar is an Indian film with lead characters played by famous Indian Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Radhika Apte. The story goes as follows: small-time stock trader Rizwan Ahmed arrives in Mumbai on a flight to work for his role model, wealthy and ruthless stock trader Shakun Kothari.

Eventually, Rizwan Ahmed gets a job with Kothari and becomes close to Kothari and his wife, Mandira. Kothari offers Rizwan Ahmed the chance to make even more money, which is where the story starts.

The movie shows how the stock market works and sheds light on the illegal things done in the stock market.

10) Saving Capitalism

Saving Capitalism is a documentary based on the book ‘Saving Capitalism: For the Many, Not the Few by Robert Reich. The film was released by Netflix in 2017. The documentary is about the former Secretary of Labor elaborating on the current state of the American economic system and presenting ideas for saving capitalism.

9) The Great Hack

The Great Hack is a documentary film about the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal. Harry Davies, a journalist, exposed the scandal. He reported that Cambridge Analytica used data harvested from millions of people’s Facebook accounts without their consent.

This scandal is also known as one of the biggest scandals online. The matter became so huge that even Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, had to testify in front of committees of the United States Congress.

8) The Tinder Swindler

The Tinder Swindler is a British actual crime documentary film. It is a documentary on an Israeli man who used the Tinder dating application to connect with women and ask them for money he would never repay.

He would impress women by taking them on a luxurious date using money he borrowed from other women. He used to pretend that his enemies targeted him, and now he is injured; he used to play this act when it was time to repay the money.

7) FYRE

Fyre is an American documentary film about Billy McFarland and the failed Fyre Festival of 2017. It is about the social media agencies that directed the Fyre Festival promotion shoot that soon turned out to be a fraud by Matte Projects. The film is not very different but exciting, so you should try it.

6) American Factory

American Factory is a documentary film directed by Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert. The film is about a Chinese factory in Moraine, a city near Dayton, Ohio, owned by a Chinese billionaire.

The factory is opened in an abandoned Motor plant, hoping to give way to setbacks as high-tech China clashes with working-class America.

5) Moneyball

Moneyball starring lead actors include the famous Holywood actor you must have heard of, i.e., Brad Pitt. The storyline is about a frustrated owner whose baseball team can’t afford big-money players but will soon.

Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane successfully assembled an excellent baseball team on a lean budget; that is where the real story starts. I would say the film is interesting. The plot is very different from other sports movies; it would give you a basic idea of how a sports team works.

4) The Social Dilemma

The Social Dilemma is a 2020 American documentary film with interviews with many former social media company employees. The film exposes the dark truth of how social media influences teenagers’ minds by spreading fake news stories and how social media companies make money from these kinds of illegal acts.

It also elaborates on how governments have used social media as a tool for propaganda. The film is very informative, and I believe every teenager must try this movie once.

3) The Social Network

The Social Network cast includes famous actors like Jesse Eisenberg,  Andrew Garfield, and Justin Timberlake. The film portrays the founding of the social media website Facebook.

However, Neither Zuckerberg nor any other Facebook staff were involved with the project. The whole development of Facebook started with an event where Mark Zuckerberg was dumped by his girlfriend, Erica Albright. The film is based on an actual event, and it is an exciting movie. The cast is also imposing.

2) The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 American biological drama film starring famous actor Will Smith in the lead role. The story is about how a gardener’s son is tired of being homeless for about a year.

The film was a hit and received positive reviews; Will Smith’s mind-blowing performance made the film even better. Smith was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Actor.

The emotions played by Will Smith and Smith’s son Jaden Smith, a co-star, were the best. I highly recommend this film based on its plot,  story, and acting.

1) Inside Job

The Inside Job is a movie describing a global financial meltdown that caused millions of Jobs and homes to be lost and the fall of the United States into deep economic decline identified by a fall in GDP.

The film is the best of all. It has received a solid 8.2 IMDb rating, which describes how good the movie will be. I will surely recommend this movie.

Conclusion

Finance-related movies don’t only entertain us but also help to increase our knowledge. Unlike other genres, they introduce us to the dark reality of this world and how things work and shed light on loopholes in the financial system. Ultimately, I would suggest you try one of these movies on weekends or whenever you are free.

Do small things with great love.
