Movies engage a more diverse array of senses, capture our attention, and through dialogue and imagery – they move us in ways that the written word sometimes cannot. I am a huge supporter of Reading Lists (click HERE to see The Company Leader Reading List), but that doesn’t mean we can’t love movies too! Below is a running list of movies that are great for developing the profession of arms. Enjoy!
