August 19, 2008 |  | The Greatest Business Film Ever Made |  |
This is, quite simply, the greatest film ever made about business and the capital markets. Wall Street is brilliant and infinitely quotable. There are just so many good lines in the film delivered to perfection by Michael Douglas. This is certainly Michael Douglas' best work, for which he most deservedly won the Oscar. The acting, writing, and directing are phenomenal and culminated in a true masterpiece. This is my favorite film; I have watched it more than a dozen times and I always enjoy the ride and discover new subtleties. Not only did I buy the original version, but I also bought the 20th anniversary edition too. Anybody who has any interest in the stock market or business must own this film; it has become a cult classic. I am looking forward to the sequel "Money Never Sleeps". I hope that the filmakers will aspire to the quality and caliber of the original.
August 18, 2008 |  | comparison of stock market 20 years on |  |
I was reminded of the movie Wall Street mentioned referred to when reading Liars' Poker a book about bond trading scams. I was amazed to see that another market crash, this time Prime Mortgage could re-occur there seems to be someone always ready to seize the opportunity to make a quick buck and not give a damn about the consequences. Just like Michael Douglas's character says "I just move the money around". Very compelling viewing and a warning to where you put your stocks and investments. Here in Australia the lending and valuation legislation is much tighter and harder to get a loan, although there are people now lending money to those who cannot afford it, Difference is the properties are not overvalued and the lending bodies just re-possess the property.
May 28, 2008 |  | Classic Movie but Blu ray Quality not impressive |  |
Great movie! Although better quality than a DVD but not that impressive for a blu ray.
