6. The Godfather

Year: 1970
Starring: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan
Recommended by: Paul Danos, dean of Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business, and Robert F. Bruner, dean of the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business

The Michael Corleone character, in ordering execution for a top lieutenant's switching loyalty to another family, says, "Tessio was smarter," indicating that it did not surprise him that Tessio would be the first to switch allegiance to a new leader when the old leader was past his prime.
—Paul Danos

This routinely ranks among the greatest movies ever made. Any business student could watch it merely for some valuable immersion into an aspect of American culture. But I advocate it to students as a lesson in adherence to personal values. In one of the most famous lines in the film, a character says, "This is business, not personal"—referring to a murder. Should we—can we—ever separate professional life from personal values? No. Business is always personal.
—Robert F. Bruner

《教父》（The Godfather），1970年
主演：马龙·白兰度（Marlon Brando）、阿尔·帕西诺（Al Pacino）、詹姆士·卡安（James Caan）
推荐人：保罗·达诺斯（Paul Danos），达特茅斯学院塔克商学院院长；罗伯特·F·布鲁纳（Robert F. Bruner），弗吉尼亚大学达顿（Darden）商学院院长
推荐理由：保罗说，迈克尔·柯里昂（Michael Corleone）一角说“赛西欧更聪明”，这表示当原来的老大已成为过去时赛西欧第一个向新老大表示忠诚并不得令他感到吃惊。
罗伯特说，商学院学生不仅能从该片看到美国文化的一些方面，我建议学生还可将其作为与个人价值有关的课程来看。
