Economics essay over a movie that deals with economics?

I would really like a movie (i know this sounds weird) without actual money as economics, but a concept of economics like entrepreneurship, law of diminishing returns, law of demand/supply... thank i appreciate it

Tough question. You might consider "Jerry Maguire" where the phrase "Show me the money" came from. There are a number of economic concepts in the story other than the obvious one about getting more money for the football player. For instance, the part about Jerry trying to hold onto his client list when he goes freelance and the part about "selling the product" for his one and only client. Good luck.

'The Grapes of Wrath' is great.

Or, try this: A Christmas Carol.

Try a subtler, more modern version.

Or, if you only have an hour, how about the society of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home:

Girl: "...and I suppose your going to tell me there's no money in the 23rd Century..."
Kirk: "...well, there's not"
