Wall Street | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Stone's script makes towering mountains out of mysterious minutiae, confident that although we may not be able to classify the rocks, we will be able to map the terrain.

A 1980's update of Goethe's Faust, with Charlie Sheen's Bud Fox as a corporate raider wannabe Faust and Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko a grinning, ruthless finance Mephisto. In 2022's time of greedflation, a re-watch sheds light on our current condition.

Wall Street retains an important place in film history mainly for the iconic role of Gordon Gekko and the performance by Douglas. Gekko’s mantra “Greed is Good” has become a wretched but standard staple in the business world.
