Title. It doesn't even need to be sports related. My favorite part of Moneyball are the discussions had between Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) and the team's scouts and executives. Think of the infamous "he gets on base" scene. All these scouts and execs are flabbergasted that Beane wants to bring on players on his team with what they believe have major deficiencies, but Beane is simply going by analytics when it comes to his decision making. It ends up revolutionizing how players are evaluated in baseball. Analytics in general end up taking over in other sports as well.

Are there other movies like this? In any industry or line of work?, where traditional methods of thinking and decision making get challenged by new tactics, and those new tactics end up changing the industry moving forward?
