Believe it or not, the stereotype of all accountants being straight-laced brainiacs is not completely true. Although there is NOTHING wrong with being a straight-laced brainiac, look at Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. However, there are just as many very cool, laid back accountants.

To prove this, let's have some fun today. It's Friday after all, and even accountants like to have fun on Friday. Before you read the following list, think over all the movies that come to mind where an accountant plays a major role. Then check out the 7 movies below and see how many you named. Let us know in the comments how well you did!

9 Movies with an ACCOUNTANT in a Leading Role

One of the best movies of all time, The Shawshank Redemption has Morgan Freeman as an accountant for fellow prisoners in Shawshank prison.

Dead Man stars Johnny Depp as an accountant that goes out west to pursue a new job opportunity during the Gold Rush.

In Hitch, Will Smith turns mild-mannered accountant Kevin James into a lady killer.

This movie is a classic.  It hits so many topics – the mob, prohibition, FBI, accounting, Sean Connery and…baseball (if you’ve seen the movie, you know what I mean).

If you don’t know the story of Al Capone, I’m not going to give you any spoilers.  Just watch the movie – you’ll be proud to call yourself a CPA!

The Smartest Guys in the Room’ is arguably the most important accounting movie you’ll ever watch.  It’s interesting, educational, suspenseful and brilliantly crafted.

Plus, this movie is almost like a 2 hour crash course as to why and how the public accounting landscape has changed since the infamous fraud.  This is a great movie to give you something to say around the accounting water cooler!

Eddie Moscone (Joe Pantoliano) hires tight-lipped bounty hunter Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) to locate a mob accountant named "The Duke" (Charles Grodin) and bring him to L.A.

Down and out producer Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel), who was once the toast of Broadway, trades sexual favors with old ladies for cash contributions. Max's new accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), offhandedly muses that if Max found investors for a new production that turned into a flop, he could legally keep all the extra money. The duo begins to put together the worst play possible, titled "Springtime for Hitler", with a terrible director and a hippie-freak star.
