Wall Street. This is a classic traders movie. I've seen it a couple of times. People love to use this movie as an example of the 'big bad 80's'. This is a too simplistic view. Watch it with an open mind. spider.

This is an excellent true story. Nick Leeson was the trader who incurred monster losses, which ultimately brought down Barings bank (not the first time this had happened in the history of Barings, but the last time, in the 1800's, the Bank of England, which was then a private bank, bailed them out).
The collapse was not all Leeson's fault. Not a great movie, but a great story.

This one was shown on the ABC a few years back. On cable more recently (Arena I think). Made in the early 90's it gives a good idea of a floor trader at a merchant bank during that era. I really enjoyed this series.
