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
