I really enjoy Aaron Sorkin's The Social Network. Every time I watch it, I get the idea to make a cool app. So, do you have any similar movie recommendations?

I really liked The Founder about Roy Kroc and McDonalds. Currently on Netflix

Very similar themes and story. Not about an “app” but how McDonalds works is about food preparation innovation and the tech/process behind it. And like The Social Network a lot of people are left in Krocs dust.
