6. The Godfather

Year: 1970
Starring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan
Recommended by: Paul Danos, dean of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, and Robert F. Bruner, dean of the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business

The Michael Corleone character, in ordering execution for a top lieutenant's switching loyalty to another family, says, "Tessio was smarter," indicating that it did not surprise him that Tessio would be the first to switch allegiance to a new leader when the old leader was past his prime.
—Paul Danos

This routinely ranks among the greatest movies ever made. Any business student could watch it merely for some valuable immersion into an aspect of American culture. But I advocate it to students as a lesson in adherence to personal values. In one of the most famous lines in the film, a character says, "This is business, not personal"—referring to a murder. Should we—can we—ever separate professional life from personal values? No. Business is always personal.
—Robert F. Bruner

《教父》（The Godfather），1970年
主演：馬龍·白蘭度（Marlon Brando）、阿爾·帕西諾（Al Pacino）、詹姆士·卡安（James Caan）
推薦人：保羅·達(dá)諾斯（Paul Danos），達(dá)特茅斯學(xué)院塔克商學(xué)院院長；羅伯特·F·布魯納（Robert F. Bruner），弗吉尼亞大學(xué)達(dá)頓（Darden）商學(xué)院院長
推薦理由：保羅說，邁克爾·柯里昂（Michael Corleone）一角說“賽西歐更聰明”，這表示當(dāng)原來的老大已成為過去時賽西歐第一個向新老大表示忠誠并不得令他感到吃驚。
羅伯特說，商學(xué)院學(xué)生不僅能從該片看到美國文化的一些方面，我建議學(xué)生還可將其作為與個人價值有關(guān)的課程來看。
