Ask HN: Are there any Good Movies about StartUps?

[mannylee1]

I watched the movie "August" last week and was wondering if there are any other movies about StartUps. If you have any to suggest, please list them below.

Two feature length documentaries about Bubble-era startups:

Startup.com (about GovWorks -- they had the contract to process parking tickets for NYC parking tickets but they of course blew it with their extravagant spending)

E-Dreams (about Kozmo.com (RIP). haven't seen this, if anyone has it I would like to borrow/buy/digitally share it) The first 8 minutes are free here. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1283742294319360518&... )

"... E-Dreams (about Kozmo.com (RIP). haven't seen this ..."

I've got this on disc. Gritty story of how a delivery Startup failed to take into account the costs of doing so. It's worth the look just to see how they blow the $200M+ dollars in funding ~ http://www.kosmo.com/blogs/TimsBlog/2004/04/28.html More details here ~ http://twopointouch.com/2006/07/14/1999-and-all-that/

The most interesting thing about this link is the fact that some random dude had the kosmo.com URL all along. Why didnt Kozmo (the company) buy it up?

There's an interesting series on Hulu.com called Startup Junkies. It's about a startup called Earth Class mail. There are only about 7-8 episodes on it but I found it to be very interesting

Seconded.

http://www.boondogglefilms.net/aardvarkd.php is something similar, though doesn't quite classify as a startup movie. Nevertheless it is interesting (features PG, Joel etc.)

"Revolution OS" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_OS) --- is a great movie about Linux and FSF, and it also features a story about "Cygnus Solutions" startup.
