If you have not seen this movie buy the DVD. Just a great movie/DVD.One of the top 5 (best) films ever made. In my opinion it is the best career performance by Michael Douglas with a number of powerful scenes as the multi-millionaire business investor ' Gordon Gekko. Gekko is a dynamic wall street financier working inside and outside the law. He turns the head of Charlie Sheen who is exceptionally good - being convincing, likeable and sympathetic as a young and up and coming stock broker. He is being 'mentored' by Gekko. The movie is very well supported by Charlie's father Martin Sheen, playing his father in the movie - as an aircraft mechanic that tries to keep his son grounded to reality. Also featured are Daryl Hannah - Charlie's (Bud Fox) on screen romance, along with Hal Holbrook and Terence Stamp in the trading rooms. Just a fascinating movie about Wall Street in the go go 1980's and the insider trading scandals. Every collection should include this exceptional work.5 stars but deserves about 8.
