Finance Films

The Economist has a blog posting talking about finance films. The conclusion is that overall, they tend to be not very good.

The comments on the post make for interesting reading and perhaps might contain a few suggestions for your netflix queue.

My personal faves are
Boiler room
Wall Street
Barbarians at the Gate
Rogue trader

Feel free to post any that I might have missed (as comments).
