Buy, sell, talk at you babe.
This film shows the emotions behind the world of stock market trading, and the asset stripping financial moguls, people that supposedly have little or no conscience about their actions and are only motivated by greed. On this latter subject, the speech that Michael Douglas delivers in the film is extremely iconic as is the film itself. It brilliantly captures the mood of the 80's. Its a must see. I think that the ending could have been better but the film is still one of the best of the period. 'lunch is for wimps', 'greed is good' etc all the phrases that carried on into the 90's originated from this film.
