That movie does such a good job of creating the feel of the 80/90s.  It’s obviously turned up for Hollywood but it does it better than Boiler Room, Gordon Gekko, etc.

I wonder what financial films they’ll make about the 2010-2020s.

You can often guess the age of a trader by their preferences: mutual funds are sooooo 90s.  I watched Office Space last night and everything screamed 1990s especially when Samir talked about investing in mutual funds. The 2000s were penny stocks(not that it wasn’t a thing before).  The late 2010:-earlyn2020s is definitely going to be about crypto.

Margin Call is actually a very suspenseful/terrifying movie IMO reflecting the 2008 crash. Really well done.
