Even though the 80's were about to become the 90's and the stockmarket crash was just around the corner, when Oliver Stone made Wall Street he put a small gem out there. It is so incandescently 80's that you squirm with every frame. OTT production design, dialogue quoting Sun Tzu, and the rug pulled from under an entire generation of yuppies... The film's final 5 minutes date it now, but the rest is perhaps more biting and fresh today than ever. And Michael Douglas has never been better.
