Catch Me If You Can
Leonardo DiCaprio makes another appearance, go figure. Before Frank Abagnale was even 22, he was a criminal mastermind. Come on, his rap sheet consisted of check forgery, expert imposter, and confidence trickster, if that’s a thing. Abagnale has successfully impersonated a pilot, a physician, a lawyer, and even a U.S. Bureau of Prisons agent. How does that happen? Moreover, Abagnale actually escaped police custody…twice. When he was eventually caught, he wound up working for the FBI as a consultant and lecturer after he finished his sentence. As of now, Abagnale runs a financial fraud consultancy firm.

The Founder
Yes, really, The Founder tells the story of the fast food chain McDonald’s and Ray Kroc, the founder. You see, Kroc opened the FIRST McDonald’s restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois after the McDonald brothers had recruited him to help. Once Kroc had successfully franchised, he purchased the company from the brothers for a grand total of $2.7 million. It didn’t take long for Kroc to turn McDonald’s into an international chain. In fact when he passed away in 1984, 7,500 franchises were open around the world.
