9. Citizen Kane

Year: 1941
Starring: Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, and Dorothy Comingore
Recommended by: Paul Danos, dean of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, and James W. Dean Jr., dean of the University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flager Business School

The office party scene has dancing girls and bands and ends with "The Charlie Kane Song," where the new leader is not only lampooned, but CEO Kane himself joins in the chorus and shows a different side of himself to the troops.
—Paul Danos

This psychological study of the making of a publishing empire is based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, whose overwhelming drive for business success was based on compensating for his abandonment by his parents. Released in 1941, it is still considered one of America's finest films. Quote: "I suppose he had a private sort of greatness, but he kept it to himself."
—James W. Dean Jr.

推薦理由：保羅說，公司聚會一場有舞女、樂隊和“查理凱恩之歌”，新領導者不只是奚落，CEO凱恩自己也參與進來向大家展示自己不同的一面。
