Amazon.com essential video:
Michael Douglas won an Oscar for perfectly embodying the Reagan-era credo that "greed is good." As a Donald Trump-like Wall Street raider aptly named Gordon Gecko (for his reptilian ability to attack corporate targets and swallow them whole), Douglas found a role tailor-made to his skill in portraying heartless men who've sacrificed humanity to power. He's a slick, seductive role model for the young ambitious Wall Street broker played by Charlie Sheen, who falls into Gecko's sphere of influence and instantly succumbs to the allure of risky deals and generous payoffs. With such perks as a high-rise apartment and women who love men for their money, Charlie's like a worm on Gecko's hook, blind to the corporate maneuvering that puts him at odds with his own father (played by Sheen's offscreen father, Martin). With his usual lack of subtlety, writer-director Oliver Stone drew from the brokering experience of his own father to tell this Faustian tale for the "me" decade, but the movie's sledgehammer style is undeniably effective. A cautionary warning that Stone delivers on highly entertaining terms, Wall Street grabs your attention while questioning the corrupted values of a system that worships profit at the cost of one's soul. --Jeff Shannon

I'm not going to repeat all the accolades already given this movie. But one glaring miscast as having also been mentioned before - Daryl Hannah as Darien Taylor, was absolutely horrible in this film. I agree that Sean Young (Kate Gekko) should have switched parts with Hannah.
Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko and Charlie Sheen as Bud Fox were excellent. The very touching scene between Bud and his dad Carl (Martin Sheen) in the hospital was one of the more memorable in this great movie. ... Read More

"...ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good.
Greed is right.
Greed works.
Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind."
Time to dust off an old classic! Well not so old. After all, the decade that WALL STREET famously and entertainingly captured ... Read More

Even though this film is over 20 years old it is still relevant.
It really shows what drives the markets, even with today's stronger regulations.
Also, it is a great film, with real jeapody and tension.
It was a large influence on my own film, Capitalism - The Movie.

Brilliant time capsule of the 1980s and Wall Street hustlers in particular, anchored by a riveting performance by Michael Douglas as slash and burn big shot Gordon Gekko. Like Platoon the script is filled with over-the-top dialogue - "Who am I?" says Bud Fox (Gekko's protege played by Charlie Sheen) at one point. Nevertheless Stone captures the excess and furious pace of the period.
Aside from the film, what makes the 20th Anniversary Edition really worth the price of admission is the "extras": ... Read More

Wall Street is a classic film that still has many things to say to people today. Oddly, and unfortunately, it seems even more appropriate today than it did when it was released.
