Movie suggestions for the financial crisis

[Lydia Leftcoast]

1. Wall Street "Greed is good." And to think that some people took that seriously.

2. The Bank A little-known Australian film but available on Netflix as both a rental and an online option, this is the story of a computer geek who convinces the officials of a major bank that he has developed a program that can predict the future of the market. They hire him at a fantastic salary, and he makes tons of money for the bank. He's even willing to lie in court to protect the bank in a lawsuit. Still, the bank assigns a woman employee to monitor him, but by the time she figures out what he's really up to...

Any other suggestions?

1. The Grapes of Wrath ?

At least if the market continues to go down like that.

2. Not exactly a financial movie, but yes

Also, I'm wondering if there are any movies from places like Argentina, which did undergo a complete financial meltdown.

3. "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" for the average person.

Guaranteed to bring you down.

4. Right, another great one

from the golden age of American filmmaking in the 1960s and 1970s, when serious movies were considered cool.
