The Social Network (2010, Movie)

This film by David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) is a biographical DRAMA based on the book, THE ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES:The Founding of Facebook. Well there was already Friendster and MySpace, they just realized they could do it much better, and they did.  I shouldn't say "they" as it really boils down to an angry jaded computer nerd (Jesse Eisenberg perfectly cast as Mark Zuckerberg) who just got dumped and looks to get revenge the only way he knows how, making a program that turns the table on all of the girls on campus. 


Once it ends, there's nothing left but hurt feelings, lawsuits and new faces ready to jump on the bandwagon of potential. The movie keeps you locked in, interested and entertained through the whole flashback/flash sideways flow of the movie.
