Looking for movies like pursuit of happiness and not some sport movie. Also not looking for a movie in which someone becomes rich just by chance, lottery or deceit.
Pursuit of Happiness is the perfect example of what I am looking for. Any recommendations? Thank you :)
Is crime genre ok?
Scarface (83) might be a good one for your wishes
Tony Montana goes from dish washer to top Cocaine cowboy of Florida
It lacks a happy ending though:/
There Will Be Blood (07)
I wont argue that Daniel Plainview was a nice fellow but he started out broke, worked very hard and persisted in his efforts to become very wealthy
Fine movie if you get the chance to see it...seems to fit what you are looking for
