I still laugh at people who watch these films and think they are actually what you need to act as. Both films were written and directed by a literal Communist to show how sociopathic wall street had become and yet all my friends fucking think they are Gordon Gecko and go out and act like pretentious fuckwits in super expensive suits and drinking and blowing money on cocaine and shit when they are literally in entry level office jobs.

There are a lot of people who watch Wall Street or Wall Street 2 and misconstrue the story at face value. If they used their brain a little, or watched interviews of the actors and directors, they would know that the stories serve as a cautionary tale, rather than as a "this is how you should be, too" story.

Wall Street is kind of weird in that in highlighting the excesses of its characters and the illegal things they do, they also demonstrate the "just fucking do it" attitude and drive it takes to succeed.

Wall Street would pretty much be the same movie even if it didn't end in an insider trading case.

I'd rather have people who mimic those than the Wolf of Wall Street, which is why more than half of the Finance majors in my graduating class picked that. I'm at a good school too which makes it even more depressing. Actually not really, since it'll just make it easier for me.

The thing that gets me about Wolf is that it isn't even that good of a finance movie. I mean at best it covers brokers pushing penny stocks as a scam, but after the whole "sell me this pen" thing, it was basically about rich asshole excess. At least Wall Street stayed on point with what happens in trading and didn't devolve in to Leo trying and failing to yell his way to an oscar. Again.

Wolf of Wall street was a great salesman movie, it's not about the finance but it's still /biz/ related and relevant as shit. The stock-market helps paint the background but the narrator deliberately skips the explanations because, fuck it.

As far as finance goes, "Margin Call" and "Inequality for all" are my personal favorites.
Inequality for all is a documentary made by an economics professor who was secretary of labor during the Clinton during his presidency. It helps explain the crisis simply without spraying his politics like a retard like loads of films do. His arguments are solid intellectually, ooze simplicity and are an assumed and structured representation of his personal convictions shaped by his strong understanding of economics.
The movie has an actual cinematic substance to it (good soundtrack, quirky presentation about the guy, uplifting and optimistic thanks to the "university setting" part of the story etc..)

The seminars I've watched aren't on YouTube, they're available by torrent or by file sharing websites (and are usually a pain to download because they're broken up over numerous rar files). No, you're not the only guy that watches hour long keynotes. One of the last training sessions I watched was a total of 10 hours, but it was SO interesting, that I ended up watching it all in one day without any breaks. I also read books and I've got a few hundred, all on business. I also have a tiny library of business and luxury magazines, as well as rare ones. Attached is a picture of one of 4 bookcases I have, all on business, luxury, etc. These are just physical books, my digital library is larger.

I can give you the names of some really good seminars if you want. And no, they're not Tony Robbins bullshit that everybody knows about. While he does have some good material, he takes forever to get to it with his brain dead audience and is really annoying how he says "say I" after every 10 words

Glengarry Glen Ross is a good movie example of how NOT to manage your employees.

- not cooperate on projects at all
- despair and demoralize about everything

Not a movie, but I'd like to add The Sopranos to the list. Besides being a generally good show, there is actually some (usually very broad) good advice that can be taken from it.

Same goes for The Office. It may be a ridiculous comedy, but there are actually some lessons to be learned from it.

Agreed. I was sad when Breaking Bad ended but this is a great substitute because you get backstories on Saul and Mike. It seems like both of them had their own Walter White moments at some point where circumstances push them towards utilizing the thier skillsets towards nefarious purposes. In Mikes case its easy to see he takes on his type of work to support his grandaughter but I am more intersted to see what happens to James McGill to make him become Saul Goodman.

Surprised this never gets a mention -

Robin Williams finest performance (and maybe funniest film representation of the Stock Market)

Seize The Day

www.nytimes.com/video/movies/100000003372427/seize-the-day.html?playlistId=100000003277281

(not to be confused with Dead Poets)

- actually an anti-capitalist, Humanist classic - bit like Wall St tho, works in much the opposite way as well.. being poor aint much fun.

Fkn great film.
