Wall Street (the 1987 film) is so outdated it’s hilarious

Not trying to put down how influential it was on us all in pursuing a career in finance. Characters like Gordon Gekko and Bud Fox will never go out of style. The “Greed… Is Good” speech is simply iconic. But man there are so many things in that film that just don’t apply to today.

Curious to hear what parts of the film everyone likes to have a good laugh at…
