"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" (2005): great recount of the Enron scandal. On Netflix.
nice, i'll check it out
Agree with @BubbaBanker - "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" is a good watch.
Also check out: Quants - The Alchemists of Wall Street (2010) How the Economic Machine Works, by Ray Dalio (2013) Black Wednesday (1997) Meltdown (2010) Becoming Warren Buffett (2013)
Film-wise, watch "The Founder" (2016) - all about Ray Kroc and the founding of McDonald's.
+1 for "Becoming Warren Buffet"
Watching "Too Big to Fail" on Amazon right now. Would highly recommend
Trillion Dollar Bet, a documentary about LTCM
The movie adaptation of Barbarians at the Gate is awesome. More of a dramatization than a documentary, but still excellent watching. I believe it is on YouTube as well!
I’ve seen it & haven’t read the book. Can confirm, its entertaining although dry at times.
"Something Ventured" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1737747/ - Venture capitalists getting Apple and others off and running.
"Hank: 5 Years from the Brink" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3137552/ - Documentary and interview w/Hank Paulson about financial crisis.
"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1016268/ - It was mentioned above but I have to mention it again because it is so good.
"Inside Job" - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1645089/ - If this is the one I'm thinking of it's really good. A bit basic if you already know a lot about finance, but entertaining and informative. Unfortunately it's not on Netflix anymore, can rent it on Amazon Prime Video for $3.
The China Hustle - on Netflix
Cant recommend this enough.
FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened
Most of these are low quality due to age. They are interesting to watch though.
Trader - Paul Tudor Jones during the crash of 1987. Finding a good quality copy is difficult but there should be better streams out there if you get creative.
Opalesque Tv - Interview series featuring alternative investment managers and hedge funds. Covers different strategies and philosophies for various events. A few big names in it;
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCstOoFY_n96MFF-W63sJOgg
Trillion Dollar Debt - About Black Scholes and LTCM collapse.
https://vimeo.com/244903345
25 Million Pounds - The trader who helped cause the downfall of Barings Bank.
I second the mentions of Something Ventured, Quants, Hank: 5 Years from the brink, and Inside Job; enjoyed all of them.
Not documentaries, but Margin Call and The Big Short are outstanding depictions of the crisis...
Not a documentary but really enjoyed The Founder. Story of Ray Kroc/the rise of McDonalds.
Some of them have been mentioned above, but here’s a complete list: 1. Bigger than Enron (2002) 2. The Corporation (2003) 3. The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) 4. The Bank That Bust The World (2010)
5. Inside Job (2010) 6. Meltdown: Global Financial Collapse (2011) 7. Becoming Warren Buffett (2017)
Not documentaries, but still very good films: 1. Barbarians at the Gate (1993) 2. Margin Call (2011) 3. Too Big to Fail (2011) 4. The Big Short (2015)
The Princes of Yen: Japan's Central Bankers and the Transformation of the Economy is fantastic!
