Why not watch the movie that led me into the world of finance? Wall Street (1987) πŸ’Ό had considerably impacted my career choice. Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko, with his famous β€œGreed is good” speech, perfectly captures the ambition and thrill of high-stakes finance. It’s a must-watch for anyone curious about the financial industry.

If you’re looking for more, The Wolf of Wall Street 🐺 takes you on a wild ride through excess and ambition, offering a thrilling look into the fast-paced world of stock trading. For those who prefer true stories, The Big Short delivers a brilliant mix of humour and drama while explaining the 2008 financial crisis πŸ“‰. Understanding the dynamics that shook the global economy is a great watch.

Another great pick is Rogue Trader, which tells the gripping cautionary tale of Nick Leeson and how his risky decisions led to the collapse of Barings Bank. If documentaries are more your style, Inside Job offers an in-depth look at the causes of the global financial crisis, serving as a stark warning against greed and systemic failures that can lead to a meltdown.

Billions (2016-) πŸ“Ί is packed with intense drama for TV enthusiasts and explores the rivalry between a hedge fund titan and a U.S. Attorney. If you want a European twist, Bad Banks (2018-2020) delves into European corporate corruption and high-stakes finance.

These films and series aren’t just for entertainment – they’re full of valuable insights about ambition, risk, and the challenges of the financial world. They provide a unique opportunity to understand the financial industry better, making them perfect for a relaxing, lazy movie Sunday. 🍿
