    There used to be a series on the History channel called Titans. It documented and reenacted the lives of really interesting founders (Rockefeller, JP Morgan, etc.) Episodes are probably on Youtube or History.com. 馃

    I don't if it fits your topic. But "The Founder (2016)" is one of my choice.

    If you want to go a bit old school, "Startup.com" was an excellent documentary. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt025... I won't spoil it, but there are many ups and downs in the story. (Youtube) I'd highly recommend the TV show "Halt and Catch Fire". I think I've watched this 5 times and it's great every time. Lots of success and failure throughout and a wonderfully acted show. (AMC) There are plenty of Steve Jobs movies, but my favorite is "The Pirates of Silicon Valley" which show the Microsoft and Apple origin stories (highly dramatized, but still informative to an extent, at least inspirational. Luckily, this one is streaming free too https://archive.org/details/pira... The Tetris movie that came out this year was great. (AppleTV+) The Nike movie, "Air" was great - not tech, but still about product development and creativity. (Amazon Prime) "Silicon Cowboys" is a very interesting documentary about the start of Compaq. (Pluto, Tubi, Peacock, Amazon) I love the show "Silicon Valley"... very goofy comedy but very funny. (HBO Max)

    Moneyball. I'd not say it's about a startup, more about breaking traditions, finding new ways to win, how to take failure and stick to your principles.

    You've already got a solid list with 'Jobs', 'Steve Jobs', and 'The Social Network'. These films brilliantly capture the rollercoaster ride of startup success and struggles. If you're into stories about innovation and the ups and downs of the tech world, definitely keep those movies about Steve Jobs and Facebook on your watch list. They offer great insights into the tech giants' world. Also, if you're looking for more, I stumbled across a platform called Watch Movies Free. It's a cool spot to find a bunch of movies without any hassle. You might find some hidden gems there that fit into the startup/product success or failure theme.
