What are good financial films?

"Financial films" are films that have the workings of the economy, financial markets, and financial crises as their subject. They often highlight themes such as human greed, misconduct in the financial world, speculation, manipulation, and fraud. These films offer a narrative insight into the world of finance and often show how the pursuit of wealth and power can lead to unethical behaviour.

Examples of well-known financial films are "Wall Street" (1987) with the iconic character Gordon Gekko, "The Wolf of Wall Street" (2013), and "The Big Short" (2015), which tell the story of financial misconduct and its consequences. In addition to fictional stories, there are also numerous documentaries that highlight the complexity of the financial markets and their impact on the world.

These films and documentaries contribute to a better understanding of financial themes and show the risks and consequences of financial speculation and greed.
