Favorite financial markets movies and series?

You objectively lose all credibility when you consider Wall Street 2 to be a good movie.

I didn’t like Wall Street 1, but I’m very much in the minority with that opinion.
 
I have never seen either one of them. That said, I think it's possible to enjoy a movie even if you objectively can tell it's not a very good movie. Bad movies are just funny sometimes. :D

I remember watching that documentary years back.
It was nothing but a bunch of basic-minded, neanderthal, male, old dinosaur pit traders acting all tough and cool and super successful and genius.

All I saw were a bunch of clerks and order processors.

A much more better, quality, intelligent, profound trading documentary is:
The Midas Formula: Trillion Dollar Bet
it's about LTCM of the 90's. it's available free on the web to watch, just search it.

EVERYTHING is available for free on the internet, if you know where to look. We're smart that way. We're not all tick-tockers.

bad movies like “snakes on a plane” can be fun.

Wall Street 2 took itself too seriously to be fun.

I didn’t like Wall Street 1 because the point of the movie is that Wall Street people are scumbags but yet it inspired so many Wall Street bankers.
 
That's true, regarding Snakes on a Plane.
Frankly, I don't think it's a good idea to make sequels of old classics decades down the line, more often than not they are just not very good because the context in which those classics happened is gone.

I think you may have that backwards. WS1 was a movie inspired by Wall Street bankers (who cheated, of course).
