Keith,  I have 10 or so films (and triple that in scenes) from movies that I'd have put on a disk for you, or anyone, if you'd like.  From the two you mention 
that are stale, I have 8-10 scenes.  Actually, they can't really be stale unless you have students taking your course over and over again.  First day, or 
second, I sometimes begin with Wall Street (Michael Douglas), and discuss the virtues of "greed."  "Greed is good, it's right, it cuts through and clarifies 
the . . . {something, something, something} . . . and greed, mark my word, with save Teldar Paper, and that other malfunctioning corporation called the 
United States of America."  It was an Oscar winner back in the early '90s, and, I'm told, the "greed" speech was tracked from Ivan Boesky's presentation 
to Stanford MBAs.  That may just be a rumor.  Anyway, I was known around the gym as the Boesky Professor of Business Ethics.  *  Film strips of 2-4 
minutes apiece that you may find useful from time to time, but never scheduled/syllabused in order to remain within the "fair use" provisions -- Wall Street, 
The Insider, A Civil Action, Boiler Room, Other People's Money, Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Erin Brockavich, GlenGarry GlenRoss, Kate and Leopold,
 Repo Man.  Some are sort of special interest - special occasion - feel good clips: Forest Gump, Hackers,  Goodfellas, Jerry MaGuire, Half Baked. Also, 
a skydive (strictly to impress my grandson), but you need an 8 page disclaimer to distribute beforehand. Bill

	Colleagues,
	 
	I occasionally have students in my Legal Environment class analyze business law and ethics issues in feature films. I have used The Insider in the past, but it has been used so often - in not only law classes, but also management, ethics, and others - that it has grown a bit stale for students and professor alike. A Civil Action is also beginning to show its wear. Does anyone out there have suggestions for other good films that raise business law issues? 
	 
	Thanks for any help you can give.
	 
	Keith
