Wall Street.

The film that supposedly epitomised the "bankers greed" and kicked off the "greed is good" mentality that echoes through the finance industry to this day.

It's on now on Film4, quite a good film too.

Have seen it a good few times now and have it on dvd. It kind of backfired on the director with his intentions I think. To be fair, it must have been brilliant being part of all that in the 80s and 90s.
