Hi Simon once mentioned these movies. i made a point to watch all of them. very interesting to see that we don't have many of this kind. Trading Places (1983) Wall Street (1987) Trader (1987) Bonfire of the Vanities (1990) Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) Rogue Trader (1999) Boiler Room (2000) American Psycho (2000) Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room (2005) Rg

Guess one thing you will have learnt.... those chops in the 80'S dressed like fools, all that power dressing shoulder pad stuff... it was all the coke the design teams and creatives were snorting at the time...

and it was all about being corrupt to get rich.

Ya.. I am afraid that we are bombarded with negative images about money...I really would like to suggest you read and work through a book called " Money Alchemy it an interesting work book developing a health attitude toward money!

There's another movie about Enron, "Enron: The smartest guys in the room" is a documentary - i have the dvd, but check out "The Crooked E" - (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crooked_E%3A_The_Unshredded_Truth_About_Enron) - its quite interesting as well. - those guys were dodgy, Jeff Skilling in jail, Andy Fastow as well, but i think he only got 6 years for collaborating with authorities and should come out in the next 2 years or so... Keneth Lay died from a heart attach before sentencing... shows how much stress he caused himself.
