I’ve always considered the Trilogy of Modern America Business Films to include “Wall Street”, “Glengary Glen Ross” and “Boiler Room”. A couple semesters worth of business knowledge (and shennigans of course) contained therein. Cheers!

Great movies.

Classic lesson in life in _any_ situation:

“Fake it until you make it.”

That is a good list. Add to it “Margin Call”. Both Wall Street and Boiler Room portray drama around illegal financial activity, whereas Margin Call creates drama around the *legal*, but no less manipulative, machinations of big firms.
