Tom,
One recent film that directly addresses almost all these issues is Whiplash.
Another is The Wolf of Wall Street, but there might be one or two issues you need to think through before using it!
Other recent films with which I've had success teaching motivation and related topics are:
Salmon Fishing in the Yemen
Another Earth
The Life of Walter Mitty
Departures (Okuribito)
Her
Beijing Bicycle
The Hundred-Foot Journey
The Intouchables
Captain Phillips
Human Resources (Ressources Humaines)
Safety Not Guaranteed
And once it comes out on DVD/Blu-ray, I plan to use Nightcrawler.
Hope this helps,
Jon

Dear OBers
Paul Goodman produced a host of videos/dvds now available free on-line (downloadable) at the Carnegie Mellon website below.
They deal with all sorts of workers from high tech to low, in the US and abroad. Teaching notes accompany almost all of them (and I can answer questions if you have them). You can use a whole video (12-20 minutes in most cases) or just parts (they are typically in segments regarding the worker's reflections on specific OB questions.
Enjoy!

Hi OBers,
I'm updating my video collection for my future OB/HR and OD classes and would like to know if you can recommend any particularly great DVDs (preferably recent), web links, etc. on OB/HR and OD topics. I teach all the usual OB topics (e.g., motivation, leadership, team dynamics), HR topics (e.g., selection, training, compensation), and OD topics (e.g., human process interventions, technostructural interventions, strategic change interventions).
As you probably know, there is a mountain of options out there, so I'm trying to narrow my search. Your help is very much appreciated!
Tom
