Hi All, I’m putting together a list of fictional film and TV Series that revolve around the theme of the professional speculator (operating within a speculative bubble, zero sum game environment). So far, I have come up with the following. If anyone can think of any others, feel free to share (no matter how old the film/tv series is). Thanks In Advance for All Responses Double Dynamite (Film 1951) Film in which Frank Sinatra helps a professional gambler and ends up being brought into a secret office where the gambler makes him a load of money betting on horse racing Lovejoy (TV Series 1986, 1991 to 1994) BBC series about a dodgy English antiques dealer. Wall Street (Film 1987) Film about ruthless, ambitious and corrupt stockbrokers. Sequel due in 2010.
My personal favorite is boiler room. Though it's not so much about speculators as it is about scammers and the pump-and-dump. One of the best cases for the SEC I've ever seen.
