Top 5 Banking & Finance Movies To Watch In 2023
If you’re a banker or even an aspirant there’s no shortage of movies on finance and money to catch your eye. Here’s a list of movies that are both entertaining and informative about financial markets!
The Big Short is a 2015 film based on Michael Lewis’s bestselling book of the same name.
Starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, this film presents an interesting look at Wall Street insiders who predicted the 2008 financial crisis in their own way and profited from it immensely.
Wall Street
One of the first finance movies, the film is an electrifying peek into the story of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), an unscrupulous Wall Street banker who becomes a stockbroker during the 1980s real estate boom. With iconic lines like ‘Greed is good’, the movie has become a classic since its release in 1987!
Too Big to Fail
Too Big to Fail is a 2011 film based on a book by Andrew Ross Sorkin.
The story is a gripping tale of intrigue and high-stakes finance against the backdrop of the 2008 global financial crisis. With an amazing performance by William Hurt, this movie feels more like a thriller than a movie about an economic disaster!
Margin Call
Margin Call is a 2011 film about the 2008 financial crisis. It stars Kevin Spacey, Zachary Quinto, Jeremy Irons and Penn Badgley as four fictional investment bankers who run their own company but find themselves in trouble when they realize that their firm’s assets are worth less than what they owe on them.
Other People’s Money
Other People’s Money is a light-hearted movie about a Wall Street corporate raider’s attempt to undertake a hostile takeover of a company, only to find himself torn between love and greed. It makes the same critique of the dysfunctional financial system as Wall Street, but also throws in a few laughs along the way!
Whether you’re planning your next movie night or taking a break from preparing for your banking exams, any of the movies above would be a great choice that’s both enjoyable and informative!
