Posted by RKBInvest - Dec 18 2007 @ 5:21 AM Re: Best Trading Movie? Rogue Trader or Wall Street.. Hard to choose a favourite. Also looking forward to the Wall Street sequel. Posted by Jeffrey Bray - Jun 30 2007 @ 12:42 PM Re: Best Trading Movie? I will add Jungle2Jungle which is a family movie about a commodity trader played by Tim Allen. Can you tell that I have kids? Posted by apTrdrDly - Jun 19 2007 @ 9:39 AM Re: Best Trading Movie? Quicksilver. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091814/ Kevin Bacon is an options trader who goes bust, becomes a bicycle messenger and then becomes an options trader again. Posted by apTrdrDly - Jun 19 2007 @ 9:20 AM Re: Best Trading Movie? Limit Up (1989) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097755/ This is one that many may have not yet seen. A lady bean trader makes a deal with the devil to become a super-trader. Has good re-enactments of ag pit trading.

I can't help it, but I still love quotes from "Wall Street". Hell, I've even heard traders on the floor quoting it - so it can't be that far off the mark :) Looking forward to the Wall Street sequel that is shooting right now....as for the others, "Boiler Room" was interesting, even though it did depict a seedy operation - the part I like best is the "interview" scene when affleck is doing his monologue. Frickin hilarious. Posted by Daniel Krawczun - May 16 2007 @ 2:54 PM Re: Best Trading Movie? I agree with all the above as far as on screen dipictions go, but I must say that the best dipiction of the true world of trading, especially early in your career has to be a book "Ugly Americans". I picked this up in the airport one day and could not put it down till completed. Posted by carvcu02 - May 11 2007 @ 6:23 PM Re: Best Trading Movie? Great question, I think Rogue Trader was good, Trading Places was funny, Wall Street was a classic movie, but not technical enough for me, Boiler Room tried too hard. Needless to say I own all of those movies on DVD. Posted by alan - May 11 2007 @ 12:33 PM Re: Best Trading Movie? I finally watched watched Wall Street quite two months ago, after I got my internship offer. It's quite like Devil Wears Wear Prada for a Fashion magazine, a little too sensationalised for the sake of the taste of the expecting movie goers I feel. Well it's the film industry anyway, the term 'industry' for a reason. Anyway, I can't wait to start my trading internship this coming summer; feeling all the positive vibes. That's what getting me through my unending revision for the coming summer term exams. I hope I won't be disappointed!! Posted by murdock13 - May 8 2007 @ 3:36 PM Re: Best Trading Movie? Rogue Trader Posted by Vyyper - May 3 2007 @ 12:09 PM Re: Best Trading Movie? Ditto - Wall Street had its high point but Trading Places got me curious enough to take a closer look at the industry. Posted by Todd Tarpley - May 1 2007 @ 10:48 AM Re: You're No Roger Ebert, But Name The Best... There has never been a great trading movie. "Wall Street" was unflattering and moralistic. "Trading Places" was silly (and unflattering). "Boiler Room" only showed a seedy side of the business. I can't think of a movie in which trading was positioned as a positive or even neutral activity. Posted by Ralph Tyree-Dillard - Apr 30 2007 @ 12:00 AM Re: You're No Roger Ebert, But Name The Best... I enjoyed "Wall Street" but found it to preachy in the end. Believe it or not, the two trading movies that got me interested in the business was "Trading Places" and "Rollover" with Kris Kristoferson playing a hot shot FX trader" |
