MOVIES about Trading

Quote from illiquid:

I don't understand, if you're Oliver Stone, how can you let the anachronism of the Challenger explosion or "on the phone selling NASA stock short" stay in the movie and sleep at night? That's what happens when you take Hollywood money!

why you telling me this?

... The whole NASA thing was actually supposed to be sarcasm according to what it says here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_(film)
 
Quote from since1997:

There used to be a TV show up here in Canada called "Traders". It was about a trading floor. Didn't do so well and was cut after a few seasons.

I remember when I was trading on a floor instead of at home, the manager of the place I was working at got a call from the TV show and they asked if they could film there...

I liked it. It was on for four years and the ratings were decent. They repeat it on cable sometimes ,and the first season is on dvd.
 
Well I just want to say that I do like the movie "Wall street". You'd think that in America, with the whole "Get rich quick" dreams, that there would be more movies that deal directly with trading.

That movie "A good year" with Russle crowe was good in the beginning when it shows him running that hedge fund...I'd like to see more of something like that. I just hope that Hollywood doesn't ruin it.

I'm actually in the process of witting a script..lol.. I'm bored :p

I just watched a relatively older movie, titled, "empire." It stars John Leguizemo, as a street thug leader who gets sucked into wall street life. While the movie theme is not solely about wall street, it has some good reflections about novices who get excited very quickly.

Won't reveal the end, but it's pretty good... IMHO.

I've seen that movie. It's one of my favorites. I didn't like the ending though, it made me kind of mad.
 
What I dont get is in the very beginning of the film, bud fox buys 200k shares of teldar paper...

I though brokers just called people and asked them for money for thier firm, I didn't know they actually made trades..I thought that was the traders job...not the brokers.
