Good Stock Market/Business Movies
Hey, I teach HS honors Economics and will have a bunch of kids absent the 2 days before Thanksgiving break, so thought I'd show a movie.
Any good ideas about movies that would be appropriate? No Wall Street or R rated stuff, obvs... Anything stock market related .... Secret of my success? What was that rated? Or having to do with starting up a business.... Thanks! |
What about Barbarians at the Gate?
|
'Rouge Traders' with Ewan McGregor, maybe worth a shot. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0131566/
'Wall Street' with Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas, another maybe. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0094291/ 'The Associate' with Whoppi Goldberg is another possibility. http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0115580/ Thats about all I can think of at the moment - not sure if they are what your looking for though, also it's been a few years since I have seen either of the three. |
does Boiler Room (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181984/) count? HS kids can handle that, right? it's kinda stocks..
|
Boiler Room is awesome!

With the limitation of it not being R-rated you really limit things> Half the sraw of movies involving the stock market, is power and sex.
Here are a couple not mentioned yet: Trading Places Other People's Money As a side note, there are some board games out there that might get student's interest. Rags to Riches, Monopoly (of course), Stakxchange are a few |

Okay its not quite a stock market movie, but it mentions it a few times. :D |

Trading Places
very educational :P |
I think "Barbarians at the Gate" is a great movie. But there are quite a few curse words peppered throughout if that's what you are worried about.
However, my reccomendation has to goto the documentary: " STARTUP.COM " directed by Jehane Noujaim and Chris Hegedus It's rated R just like every other movie about business but it only has a very few curse words in it. Personally I think it's your best bet. |
I love "Other People's Money" :)
|
Yeah exactly the problem I'm having .... thanks for everyone's help!

i think that counts. Most of the movie takes place in an office setting. |
