Boiler Room. The movie. Thoughts?

Ignoring the fact that we have discussed it many times... all time classic, one of my favorite movies ever.

You guys made me watch it. It was good.

[SPX]

Yes, we've discussed it before. But I watched it again last night. It really is a damn good movie.

Anyone know of any similar movies except Wall Street?

I thought Limitless had a similar vibe. Margin Call. I haven't seen "Rogue Trader" but it is supposed to be pretty good.

[MMA_scientist]

I take back rogue trader. I looked at it on RT, and it is 33%, that's probably why I didn't watch it.

What about any other movies that follow a general theme of a young dude wanting to get ahead and break out to the next level?

[MMA_scientist]

I can think of a lot of movies in that vein... but none that you haven't seen or that are very good.

Have you seen "Before the Devil Knows Youre Dead"? That is a good one, but not really young guys. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is one of my favorite actors though.

I did see it. It was solid. I also think it was Sydney Lumet's last movie.

Anyone see Wall Street 2?

[MMA_scientist]

I have nothing new for you then. That theme is almost all law movies or heist movies.

[MMA_scientist]

Anyone see Wall Street 2?

I saw it. Meh.

[SPX]

I agree, it was just okay. It certainly wasn't the classic that the first one was.

High5 is sick. He actually quit gambling.

How does no longer being a degenerate like the rest of us qualify as sick?

[SPX]

I think he means sick like rad.

Any thoughts on the new Superman?

I was kind of skeptical at first, but this trailer looks bad ass. This looks like a unique take on the comic book genre. Like a comic book film crossed with an art house film.
