Most Prestigious Finance Movies

Hi lads, I'm going on a date with a Tribeca chick tomorrow whose dad apparently is pretty big on wall street and after we are going back to my place to watch a movie. So, I need to know the most prestigious finance thing we can watch so that I can impress her with my knowledge during the movie. Here's my idea of the rankings:

1- Wall Street (1987)
2- American Psycho
3- The Wolf of Wall Street
4- The Big Short
5- Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
6- Margin Call
----------------- Massive Drop off in prestige ------------------------
7- Boiler Room
8- Money Monsters
9- Rogue Trader
10- Arbitrage
11- Enron

How is American Psycho a finance movie. The guy was M&A banker but it wasn’t a finance movie

 

Actual finance stuff like getting into the numbers or definitions is pretty low but it can show the culture of the NYC finance world well. That said, it could just as easily be about lawyers too and not much in the movie would change but there’s way more famous law movies than finance movies so I’ll take what I can get and I’ll call it a finance movie
