Admittedly the movie is cold and without frills but I think this is a move that everyone should see and should probably be in every high school history class next year.

One night, one firm, one last chance before the market collapses. The acting is stellar and the film doesn't take a stand or value judgement on the characters, it just lets you watch them react to the crisis.

It was a bare bones movie but that's all it needed to be. It has a couple of great monologues (albeit no "Greed is Good" iconic moment) but in terms of the times, it's basically the Wall St. of this era.
