Movies about meltdowns within the finance industry
Movies based on Wall Street booms and busts are increasingly a part of American culture. The recent phenomenon of rookie traders turning the tables on hedge fund veterans and minting fortunes by going long on shares of GameStop has caught Hollywood’s attention.
RollingStone magazine recently reported that several feature films about recent stock market chaos are in the works. InvestmentNews thought it appropriate to look back at other notable films, from the late 1980s to the present, based on Wall Street’s cycles of waves and crashes.
Will a GameStop flic bring home an Oscar? Don’t bet on it.
