    Michael Douglas often talks about how after the film young men would constantly be praising him for the Gekko character, not for his performance but as a “role model”. He would be flabbergasted and tell them “I was THE BAD GUY!” A good indicator of what our society has become

    Sheen's acting is very good when he's breaking down into tears while taken by the cop; you can tell he's fighting to hold the tears back, but the shame is too much to bear. The sigh at 01:52 is accompanied by him trying to hold his head high, but then slowly starts leaning down as if he's trying to bury himself out of sight.

The big hair, The pouty if not sexy looking secretaries, the clunky 086 monochrome desktop monitors, the pinstripes and suspenders, and the three-piece suites left over from the late 1970's which at this time wasn't that far back. Plus Charlie looks like a kid and Martin still looks much as he did in his earliest films.

    I loved this movie which I saw during high school. After college I went to work on Wall Street as an investment banker and while I still love this movie (and have watched it over 100x), it still amuses me that Bud was a stock broker and even told his dad “soon I’ll be moving over the the investment banking side.” Stock brokers were a dime a dozen. This would have been more realistic if Bud had been working on M&A deals as an analyst but I think most people would more easily know “stock broker” instead of “investment banking financial analyst.”

    When ever I happen to catch this ending on TV I have to stop and watch it all over again as I love how he is faced with a bleak reality about to come down on him and he decides to do the right thing even if it still meant he was going to jail anyway.
    It's about having an actual conscience and moral compass in this screwed up world. Its about how you are able to look in the mirror in the morning and be able to live with yourself and face life day by day.
    This movie more then any other I can remember, continues to reinforce that most important of life lessons better then any other film I have ever seen and I will never forget it and always stop to watch it and show others whenever I can.

    Funny story: Oliver Stone had to play hardball with the producers to cast Michael Douglass(they didn't believe he could pull off this role), and during filming Stone told Douglass to his face that he wasn't good enough for the role. Douglass was shocked by this and redoubled his efforts to perfect the character of Gekko and he won an Oscar for his work in this movie. Oliver Stone of course was only motivating him and he got the best out of Douglass because of it. That's what makes a great director.

There's Charlie's natural father, Carl Fox (Martin Sheen). There's Lou Mannheim (Hal Holbrook), Bud's moral compass, with his sage advice. And there's Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), almost the antithesis of Lou Mannheim.

    For those of you interested this movie is based to some degree on the Ivan Boesky ring. I believe there is a great book called "Den of Thieves" that goes into all the insider trading. The Bud Fox character is based loosely on Dennis Levine and some other people in the ring. I believe one of the accused was arrested in this manner and that he cried when he was paraded through the office. Basically you had a ring of individuals who knew each other through schools they attended or work and passed information back and forth about pending deals. Levine had his own ring but became in involved with Boesky. Levine had netted about 11 million (about 40 million in todays money) from illegal trading when through a fluke he came under SEC investigation. What happened was Levine was so completely perfect on all of his trades that others (who knew him as Mr. Diamond) started to copycat his trades. Eventually a girlfriend of someone in Brazil?? wrote a letter to SEC saying her boyfriend was trading on insider info. This fluke eventually led to Levine. Levine and Boesky had been passing information to each other and so Levine cut deal and flipped Boesky in and that's Wall Street. Gekko is based on Boesky.

      @@starguy2718 Actually, that is outside the purview of the U.S. Marshal's Service. The SEC, on their website, states that they would coordinate with an investigative law enforcement agency to make arrests on insider trading cases. A FBI agent would be the individual that would have effected the arrest. If the case involved taxes, an agent from the Internal Revenue Service would be the one to effect the arrest.

    "50...a hundred million dollars, Buddy. A player...or nothing." In 1987, the cutoff for the Forbes 400 was 250 million. Bill Gates was at 900 million (I still have the 87' Forbes 400 magazine). Corporate raiders making 40 million or so off of either takeovers, or green mail, were the rock stars of Wall Street when this movie came out. Now, it's a rounding error in the worth of the Forbes 400 member's net worth.
