I thought he really went light on George given the amount of ammunition he had at his disposal.

The genesis of this thread, Wall Street, was a masterpiece.

Masterpiece is a serious stretch.

The G o d f a t h e r I and II are masterpieces.
Cool Hand Luke is a masterpiece.
The Sting is a masterpiece.
Casino is a masterpiece.
Goodfellas is a masterpiece.

Wall Street did a reasonably good job of capturing the issues of the era, but it was really over dramatic to the point of being unrealistic.

It was a good movie, but no better than say... Trading Places or whatever.

Masterpiece? I dunno. I'd have to watch it again.

Trading Places was a masterpiece in its own fashion. That comedy still stands the test of time.

Wall Street was the perfect snapshot of 80's greed and consumerism and the consequences of chasing easy money.

Don't bother... It's along the lines of another Michael Moore flick filled with half-truths, rumors, creative fantasy and Leftist propoganda. I wasted my time on this, and it was an absolute waste of time. TRASH!

I wouldn't pay for that. Are you kiddin' me? Watched it in a hotel room on a free movie deal... Most satisfying moment of the movie was when I went to the bathroom and pinched a loaf. Second most satisfying moment was falling asleep before it was over...
