• MOVIES
  Movies about finance, investing and entrepreneurship are few and far between. They are also hard to find when doing a search, as titles are usually not descriptive of the subject matter . Here are all the ones we've found:
  • "Fun With Dick and Jane", starring Jim Carrey, T�a Leoni (DVD) -- absolutely hilarious. In the credits the movie makers thank WorldCom, Enron, Adelphia, HealthSouth, Global Crossing, and Tyco.
  • "Rogue Trader", starring Ewan McGregor, Anna Friel (DVD)
  • "The Associate", French version with English subtitles (video)
    "The Associate", English version (Whoopi Goldberg) (video)

  • "Boiler Room", starring Ribisi, Diesel, et.al. (video)
  • "Rollover", starring Kris Kristofferson & Jane Fonda (video) -- so bad it's almost funny.
  • "Quicksilver", starring Kevin Bacon. A young trader loses all his money, keeps body and soul together by riding his bicycle for a delivery service and, of course, makes his money back in a happy ending. I thought it was a decent, light, humorous movie, though a viewer panned it at Amazon.
