Review of Wall Street (1987) by Paul M — 01 Jan 2011
I think think this is properly remembered as an 80s classic because it sums up the mindset of the decade. The fascination with money, greed, and materialism is well documented in this. It also happens to be a really fun movie as well.
While honor doesn't really play into this story much, that's what makes it so unique. By no means was Bud Fox a remotely good person, but next to Gekko he's a near saint. This has great performances, great direction from Oliver Stone and a story that truly matters.
Not only was important at the time, but it still is.
