With all this talk about the Wolf of Wall Street, what about Oliver Stone's "Wall Street"?

[Walkman]

Scorsese is one of my favorite directors but Stone set the standard for Wall Street.

I don't care how many movies are done about Wall Street, nothing compares to Oliver Stone's Wall Street film. I'm shocked that more people don't acknowledge how great Wall Street is. Everything about it was on point. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.




Oliver Stone did an excellent job directing this film and co writing alongside Paul Weiser.

Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko was just slick and sinister.
Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox was perfect.
Martin Sheen as Carl Fox was excellent.

Michael Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Actor for this film back in 88' too.

Wait a minute, are you actually saying Wall Street doesn't get props? It's pretty much an undisputed all time classic. It can't really get much more props then that.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't seem to get the same mentions that a film like Goodfellas gets. Of course Wall Street is a classic but I can't remember the last time anyone that I know has mentioned it's brilliance or said it was one of their favorite films.

In my top 10 movies

Wall Street gets its respect, but alot of people don't play the stock market like that so they can't really relate. shyt is great though. I loved seeing how Charlie Sheen came up in that movie. The second one was complete trash though.

I know. Amazing isn't it? Madoff committed fraud of damn near 70 billion, and even though he's going to die in prison, it took 70 billion to get to that point. Crazy...

 

[Malik]

Wall Street isn't popular with the mainstream crowd like Godfather or Scarface but there isn't a business (finance/accounting/economics, mba) student alive that saw this movie and didn't wish they could be Gordon Gekko

I hear the hustle to be in, or hooked up with is real estate money laundering. Off-shore LLC's are buying up all new or upscale condos in Manhattan and Miami

Money laundering runs rampant in South Florida real estate



Money laundering runs rampant in South Florida real estate (Video) - South Florida Business Journal



The rebounding real estate values and parade of condo cranes in Miami has a dark side – the ease of laundering money through real estate.
The feature story of Friday’s Business Journal print edition shows how criminals like cocaine traffickers have purchased condos in Miami with dirty money. Through Aug. 15, federal authorities filed motions to seize 77 properties in Miami-Dade County over criminal prosecutions, compared to 59 all of 2012 and 41 in 2011.
While regulators have put more pressure on banks and mortgage brokers to spot money laundering, the lax safeguards for all-cash real estate transactions leave the door wide open to sources of illicit money, experts say.
See the video to hear what local experts have to say about how money laundering has impacted the real estate market.
Charles Intriago, president of the Miami-based Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists, which trains professionals to spot money laundering, and a former assistant U.S. attorney, talked about how real estate is one of the easiest areas to launder money.
Michael McDonald, an international money laundering consultant with Wellington-based Michael McDonald & Associates and a former IRS criminal investigator, said every criminal case he’s worked on has involved money laundering. He said it’s made easier by the loose laws governing ownership of LLCs. McDonald has even made the dog the head of an LLC.
Jim Angleton, president of Miami-based Aegis FinServ Corp, which consults banks on regulatory matters and issues prepaid corporate debit cards, said money laundering is common in Miami real estate deals and criminals are using new ways, including digital currencies, to bring dirty money into the country.
