Money Board - what are some good business movies/documentaries out there. I've recently watched Barbarians at the Gate, Margin Call, Other People's Money,and a few of the CNBC specials on netflix.

What are some other good ones yall recommend?

TIA

Not a movie but Ive been watching American Greed episodes. Very interesting imo.

Basically it chronicles the Madoffs of the world.

PBS may have the four part Frontline episode that recently aired on their website or On Demand.

Not a great movie, but DeVito's character's speech to New England Wire & Cable was superior to Gekko's speech to Teldar Paper imho fwiw imo fyi btw.

I always got a kick out of Gung Ho (1986) with Michael Keaton and Rogue Trader with Ewan McGregor.

Rogue Traderis a 1999 drama film directed by James Dearden about former derivatives broker Nick Leeson and the 1995 collapse of Barings Bank.

shite. Beat me to it.

I also loved The Aviator with DiCaprio, but that's almost a non-business movie.
