    Pacific Heights from 1990. Every wannabe Landlord should have to watch it.

    I don't know any serious movies that could teach you about real estate investing. You'll get more information from podcasts and books.

    The Big Short. There should be a whole class based around it in high school.

    The Super with Joe Peschi. It's entertaining.

    @Andrew Freed

    I would say The Big Short for me. 

    And not so much a real estate movie, but in Wallstreet I do like the very quick part where Gordan Gecko tells the story to Bud about making $800k on his first deal.

    As for response by @Nathan Gesner on Pacific Heights, I remember not liking it so much. But I suppose that could be because I was just starting with my first rentals about that time and everyone I knew kept telling me I was crazy because they saw that movie. 

    In general, my opinion is entertainment (Hollywood/movies) and practical learning don't intersect much.

    @Nathan Gesner - Thanks Nathan, I'll have to give that a watch!

    @Manco Snead - Yes, I heard good things, I will add this to the list.

    @Scott Mac - Please elaborate, why do you consider this a real estate movie?

    @Mike Dymski - Cool sounds like an entertaining 80s movie.

    @Karl B. - Thanks, Joe Peschi is always a riot. I'll have to check it out! 

    @Dave G. - Thanks Dave, two for the Big Short. I'll definitely add this to the movie list.

    Thanks all, I appreciate the recommendations.

    The Main character Peter Bailey owns the Building and Loan business.

    Mr Potter wants to buy up every building in town and turn the place into Pottersville.

    Peter Bailey wants to lend money to people so they can build their own homes.
