I agree el kaka22 - most of the movies paint a bad picture of trading.

Even Wolf of Wall street, I mean it looks interesting and all.. but at the end of the day he robbed a bunch of people and went to jail for it. What you mentioned from the Big Short is also true, but I still felt like I learned a bit from it. Like how the main character found out the housing industry was going down because there was fraud happening. It was like a forward signal. It was easy to see but nobody was looking.

But anyway, they are all for entertainment, I certainly enjoy watching them.

Another one I forgot to mention, not a movie but a show - Billions. I think it is quite good. Early in the first season it has more to do with trading and as it goes on it lessens.

Out of the whole list, if you're looking for one that you can actually learn from it is Trader, the story about Paul Tudor Jones.
