Wall Street (1987)»rank: 4921starring: Frank Adonis, John Capodice, Franklin Cover, Michael Douglas, Faith Geer
0ur opinion: essential video:Michael Douglas won an 0scar 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.
