    • Quotes

      Gordon Gekko: The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you're not naive enough to think we're living in a democracy, are you buddy? It's the free market. And you're a part of it. You've got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I've still got a lot to teach you.

    start of great Wall Street movies
    It's 1985. Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is a lowly grunt on Wall Street grinding out trades with unreliable clients. Every day, he calls the office of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) hoping to hook the big fish. His father (Martin Sheen) casually passes on some important information about his work. Bud sees an in with Gekko if he could parlay the inside info into something more.

    Oliver Stone has made one of the first great Wall Street film. It is a clarion vision of Gekko's greed which is the fuel to the market. It has one of the most iconic line in history. In a few sentences, Gekko would encapsulate the driving force of his world. There are some parts that aren't as compelling. Some of it feels more dated than it should, and I'm not talking about the brick phone. But it made finance actually understandable, and watchable. IMO it's the first one to do so successfully.
