Boiler Room (2000)

An incredibly fun film with many powerful performances.  Following the same parallels as Wall Street, even including scenes dedicated to the movie, Boiler Room is a very relaxing but intense movie. This movie revolves around a college dropout Seth Davis attempts to get a legitimate job and please his father after dropping out of college and running an illegal casino. What he doesn’t realize is that the stock brokerage where he finds work is far from legal and may just ruin his life.  As a viewer even if you know very little about stocks and bonds and insider trading, there is still plenty in here to keep you intrigued.
