Wall Street
1987
****
Director: Oliver Stone
Cast: Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Darryl Hannah, Hal Holbrook
Oliver Stone's follow-up to Platoon is a captivating drama and a scathing commentary on greed and moral corruption. Michael Douglas is deliciously nasty and charming in his Oscar winning role as Gordon Gekko, a ruthless stock market manipulator who gives a young go-getter a chance of a lifetime. Followed by Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps 23 years later.
