Also my personal list of favorites that entrepreneurs should watch (although not necessarily about technology):

Glengarry Glen Ross - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104348/

Moneyball - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210166/

The Pursuit of Happyness - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454921/

Jerry Maguire - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116695/

Catch Me If You Can - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264464/

Not a movie, but Masters of Doom is a great book about the rise of ID Software (http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Doom-Created-Transformed-Cultu...)
Code Rush. Documentary about Netscape: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Rush
E-dreams. about kozmo.com: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262021/
I strongly recommend watching Pursuit of Happyness - specially since it's based on a true story.
Also there is a series called BETA
- The social network

- The startup kids

- Jobs

these, plus:

- The Triumph of the Nerds: The Rise of Accidental Empires

- Pirates of Silicon Valley

- How America Was Built - (Rockefeller & Mellon)
- The CIA Movie With Colin Farrell.
