My favorite one's are:

-Margin call
-Wolf of wall street
-The big short
-Wall street (1 and 2)
-Too big to fall
-Inside job (even though, this is more a documental)
-To catch a trader (Documental as well, but there is a rumor that Bobby Axelrod was inspired by Steve Cohen and his stunts)

Series:

-Billions
-Wall street warriors (You can find it on youtube)
-Million dollar traders (You can find it on youtube)

What are your favorites? Any suggestions?

There's a Korean Series called 'Midas'. In my opinion, it's the best. 😄

Margin call - best trading film ever. If you want to learn about the importance of stop losses and money management then this film is critical viewing

I agree, I guess hollywood will be making a movie about how the covid affected financial markets, who lost and profit.

One of my favorites. Have you seen wall street warriors on youtube? If not, I recommend it.

I agree. Even after 2008, many advisors, investment banks, and stock brokers, are still not using stop losses nor managing their risk well. Some retail traders do a better job.

I haven't seen many of those movies, but my favorite movie was and still is Trading Places (1983).
Eddie Murphy, Dan Ackroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis have created an unforgettable trio in this great movie hit. The main characters are full of opposites. One of them is Louis Winthorpe, who runs the business of a large company that makes a lot of profit. The other is an uneducated tramp Billy Ray Valentine, dissatisfied with his life. What could they have in common? Absolutely nothing. They would never have met if it wasn't for one so-called experiment. I really recommend watching a movie.

Jordan Belfort's life is a big lesson.
