bonfire sucks balls
barbarians at the gate is one of the best esp. for ib. i'd almost call it a must see for anyone interested in IB/PE etc
there's also an australian movie "the bank" which starts out good but then they have this shitty subplot about some lame family and i hate the ending - u should probbaly try not to see it.
also that enron movie 'smartest guys in the room' is very good, especially for trader wannabes
another interesting one somewhat unrelated is 'owning mahoney' -about a gambling adict who works at a bank and does major fraud to feed the habit
other ones of distant interest are 'lord of war' and 'syriana'
(yeah, i was doing a lot of mindless data entry for my website and have a second monitor so watched DVDs to minimise the mind-numbing-ness)
i agree with the other post in that family
man is the shit. He was a senior vp pulling in eight figures. always nice
how about that horrid whoopi
how about that horrid whoopi goldberg film....where she pretends to be a male IB....it was on the other night...after 10 mins i wanted to shoot the TV
Just a thought... all wall
