Films covering financial crisis.

As my first forum topic posted, I thought I might ask for opinions/suggestions on good movies or documentaries that have been made about the current financial crisis.

I have used search for this btw, but I see new movies listed in many topics.

PBS Frontline (S28E02) The Warning (very unique)
I.O.U.S.A.(directly preceded crash well)
Capitalism: A Love Story (literally retarded)
Too Big To Fail (HBO, very good)
Inside Job (okay, but missed a lot of stuff)
Margin Call (amazing)
Wall Street 2 (Gekko broke my heart by going cliche and returning the money)

Regarding Margin Call, I'm thinking it mostly accurately is depicting Goldman Sachs rather than Lehman. At first, I thought it was Lehman because of how the firm was portrayed before the fire sale began. Really awesome writing in this movie. (If you're the first one out the door, that's not called panicking)
