As much as I love reading about forex I would like to kick back one night and watch a movie about it. Therefore I am asking for the response of the public to lsit any movies that they found interesting on forex. It doesnt have to partiuclarly be about the forex market; it could be about stocks or bond or anything to do with trading.

I am about to get :Independent Lens" Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
Another one i heard about was boiler room.

So the purpose of this thread is to list all the movies that you enjoyed or thoguhg sucked about trading.

I actually don't know the name of the movie, but I know that Tom Cruise made an exceptionally excellent movie about stocks & Wall Street, you can search for it...


Thanks,

Trading Places (1983)
Old flick, comedy, halarious. Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd. Not neccesarily about forex, more about stocks but the end actually comes down to a non farm payroll release.

enjoy

Not about Forex per se, but 'Rogue Trader' (1999) is a fictionalization of Nick Leeson's role in bringing down Bearings through derivatives trading.

Are you sure about that? I could have sworn the end was release of the official orange crop report. They were trying to corner orange juice futures, what would that have to do with NFP?

NPR did a piece on Paul Tudor Jones called "Trader". I've never been able to track it down, but I was told by someone who worked with him that it's a good watch. If you do find it, could you please pass it on to me?

Not a forex movies though but it helps you spending your time after market hour. Relax because watching market is not fun, it’s tiring.
