Zoolander is pretty good.. about the modeling business.. but an IB Analyst will find it funny because it is pretty funny.
Another one is called "The
Another one is called "The Bank" about some math genius who figures out a mathematical harmony in the market. And of course gotta love Frank Slaughtery in 25h hour. Look at the avatars on this page, all we need is Gordon Gecko, and hes at the top. haha.
