Financial Movie list

I was watching Trading Places with the Mrs the other day (she's never seen it, we were hung over, and it was raining) and I was wondering what other finance movies there were.

-Trading Places
-Boiler Room
-Wall Street
-Rogue Trader

And there was another film about bucket shops I remember watching a bit of once, but I can't remember the name.

Anyone know any other finance-related movies?

All: Trading Places may be the funniest movie I have ever watched. I'v seen many, or I should say most, funny movies (Dr. Strangelove, Blazing Saddles, Annie Hall, Big Lobowskie, etc...)

Go out and rent it. The scene were Dan east a fish on a bus or something is worth it alone.

American psycho can kind of qualify, and its a great movie anyways.

"The Producers"

Not the remake, the original with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder.

My favorite part of Trading Places is the scene in which the Duke brothers are explaining the commodities trading business to Eddie Murphy. After the explanation, Eddie says, "It sounds like y'all are a couple of bookies."

Then, one Duke looks at the other and says, "See, I told you he'd understand."

I actually tried something very similar to the Trading Places experiment. It ended badly. Great movie though.

I love how they show Mortimer and Francis in Eddie's later movie "Coming to America" as bums. When Eddie gives them a stack of money he tells Francis that they're back in business.
