  • November 11, 2006
    Greed Is Good. Greed Clarifies.
  • November 5, 2006
    Decent but nothing mindblowing.
  • November 4, 2006
    Excellent film, terrific performance from Douglas.
  • November 3, 2006
    meh.... yuppie scum must die
  • November 2, 2006
    An excellent moral tale of what can happen when you let money rule your life. Stone's direction is awesome, great performance from Sheen, made me respect him as an actor after trash like two and a half men. Douglas is as bad ass as they come in his infamous turn as Gordon Gecko.
  • October 31, 2006
    Douglas is amazing. But you only really need to see it once throughout your life.
  • October 29, 2006
    Michael Douglas' character might be the only reason to see this film...so evil and dominating that he swallows up the rest of the film and its cast.
  • October 22, 2006
    The movie overall is alright, but I love Michael Douglas as Gordan Gecko. I love watching the "greed is good" speech everytime. The ultimate reminder of 80s yuppie greed.
  • October 2, 2006
    very entertaining even though i have limited interest in the stock market...could expect nothing less from Oliver Stone.....Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas in their prime......very well done....it easily comes equipped with my seal of approval....
  • September 29, 2006
    a very good film about greed and the 80s
  • September 26, 2006
    little hard to understand cuz i handet any subtitle but i liked it
  • September 26, 2006
    well acted...one of Oliver Stone's best overall movies
  • September 25, 2006
    This 1987 Oliver Stone movie shows some signs of aging, but is still a great tale of Greed vs. Morality, or as Michael Douglas so finely puts it during the film "Capitalism at it's best" Great performances by Douglas and both Sheen's (Charlie and Martin) however Hannah's performa...( read more)nce as Sheen's gold-digging girlfriend was sub-par.
  • September 21, 2006
    Yeah, Oliver Stone's not subtle, but I liked this. Douglas came through big.
  • September 20, 2006
    Dated, but still entertaining. Martin Sheen gives the best-ever line reading of the word "wallet".
  • September 19, 2006
    Charlie Sheen at his peak?? He definitely doesn't look as good now... But anyway, the movie is surprisingly good! Loved the plot and how the student out-manuveres the master...
  • September 10, 2006
    Pretty ordinary and predictable for an Oliver Stone movie. I was bored.
  • September 3, 2006
    have seen it before but didnt concentrate at all
  • September 1, 2006
    movies about high finance fascinate me....and this one is no exception..douglas was pretty good altho not that scene chewing performance i had expected
  • September 1, 2006
    I can't believe how much I enjoyed this movie.
  • August 28, 2006
    Seansational entertainment. Douglas is a powerhouse. Slick, smart and electric. Oliver Stones most insightful and brilliant film.
  • August 28, 2006
    Fantastic, cruel and smart.
  • August 22, 2006
    I don't know anything about wallstreet, so it was boring and a bit confusing
  • August 22, 2006
    This isn't a great movie, but it's fairly enjoyable if you're in the right mindset. Michael Douglas is great as a conniving, corrupt man consumed by greed.
  • August 15, 2006
    fantastic performance by micheal douglas......im still not sure wat to think of sheen in this.
  • August 9, 2006
    Oliver Stone's love letter to the American stock market may be a tad difficult to follow for anyone who doesn't understand the inner workings of the NASDAQ, but there's plenty to like in this dramatic tale of one young trader's rise to power, and the consequences that his actions...( read more) have upon his career. Charlie Sheen does some of his finest-ever work in his portrayal of the naive Buddy Fiox, with Michael Douglas turning in a spectacular performance as his mentor/nemesis, Gordon Gekko. This movie dares you to keep up with it, and will reward those viewers who are able to do so.
  • August 5, 2006
    A little confusing, but it's worth watching
  • August 4, 2006
    The movie that spawned Boiler Room... What else is there to say?
  • August 3, 2006
    Excellent movie about business and greed and corruption !
  • July 3, 2006
    you can definetly tell this came from the 80's where greed is good and having more money means the world and also power. Really great film.
  • June 29, 2006
    Michael Douglas is perfect!!
  • June 26, 2006
    Charlie Sheen is so handsome.
  • June 24, 2006
    Michael Douglas' role of his career (debatable). Fun movie, although now very dated. I have heard a sequel may be in the works though.
  • June 19, 2006
    haha, if this movie was even slightly better written it could have four stars in my book
  • June 18, 2006
    classic...m.douglas at his best..."life all come down to a few moments, this is one of them"
  • June 6, 2006
    Really good, i enjoyed it
  • June 5, 2006
    "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." Defining quote of this film and the 80's.
  • June 2, 2006
    Not a bad movie at all. Michael Douglas is a sweet villain, although Charlie seen isn't the most believeable in some of the more dramatic scenes. Other than that, it didn't linger too much at the beginning and was interesting pretty quickly
  • May 26, 2006
    I enjoyed it, made me want to punch liberals.
  • May 26, 2006
    Oliver Stone done good! Really good look at the cut throat business on Wall Street. Charlie Sheen and Michael D are at their best in this one!
  • May 19, 2006
    Really did nothing for me. Probably wasn't two star bad, but I had no reason to continue watching it at any time. Oh well.
  • May 2, 2006
    i liked the enviornemnt and the realsitic representation of wall street, acting was good but i can't blieve douglas won best lead actor for geeko he was good but best actor of the year!!!! charlie sheen did well
  • April 30, 2006
    A very entertaining film and a great time capsule from the 80s, complete with the brick size cellphones and yuppy narcicism.
  • April 23, 2006
    Greed, for lack of a better term, is good . . . And speaking of Gordon Gekko (sorry, it's not spelled Gecko), if you've not seen Wall Street, you've missed a chance to experience one of the greatest villains in silver screen history. For you younger flixsters, if you've ...( read more)heard about the great "yuppie" dream of the '70s and '80s, you can consider this a kind of historical document which epitomizes those yuppie yearnings, not to mention the whole issue of "insider trading" on the way to the rise, "bubble," and decline of the whole dot-com wall street phenomenon. Want to know what makes companies like Enron succeed and then ultimately fail? This is the movie for you. Douglas deserved every ounce of that Oscar, and Terence Stamp deserves big points as Douglas' scheming business arch-rival from across the pond. And speaking of yuppies, another way to look at this is as a kind of American Psycho without the gore.
  • April 13, 2006
    Michael Douglas is brilliant in his Oscar-winning role in this well-made Drama from Oliver Stone.
  • April 4, 2006
    Amazing movie, great direction from Stone and one of the best acting from Michael Douglas.
  • March 21, 2006
    great film, oliver stone at his best. the usually wooden micheal douglas deserved his oscar for this.
  • March 20, 2006
    Who am I? Eno, Bryne and Copeland.
