Director: Oliver Stone
Synopsis: A young stockbroker lands the chance to work exclusively with Gordon Gekko, the stock market's crowned prince of theives. Gekko takes the young man under his wings and teaches him the ropes of illegal trading and the high life it brings, only to see them both plummet to the bottom.
Review: SO boring. And I honestly don't understand why Michael Douglas won an Oscar for this role, all he did was say the F-word and slick his hair back. Not to mention Charlie Sheen's version of the eager stockbroker was overacted the WHOLE time. Now I know this movie was made in the 80s so cheeseball clothing and music was to be expected, but I felt like I was in a retro acid trip. Why people felt this film deserved sequel is beyond me. This will probably be my shortest review EVER, but it was so awful I couldn't even watch the second half of it. Not recommended.
