I really enjoy both, but I think Social Network is the superior movie.  Moneyball, at least to me, just seemed to compound its thesis too often.  The scene where the post-rock song kicks in and Jonah Hill does the voiceover explaining the merits of Chad Bradford and why he's undervalued, that is pretty much perfect…

P.S. I changed my mind.  Kiss my ass.

@Bo_Crowder:disqus That is a great analysis, he's not cut out to anchor movies, particularly rom-coms, even though hollywood asks him too over and over.  And so he ends up in a bunch of schlock, but actually has a boatload of charisma that seems to never be employed in the service of a good movie.
