The stock market is closed today.
It's the Fourth of July holiday and you'll probably be nursing a hangover and perhaps a sunburn over the next few days.
So why not kick back on the couch in the air conditioning and watch one of these Wall Street movies while you recover?
You'll definitely enjoy yourself, and you might even learn something.
It's A Wonderful Life (1946)
In a sentence: It's a heartwarming classic that will never get old.
Plot: A guardian angel shows businessman George Bailey what life would be like if he never existed.
Genre: Family
Trading Places (1983)
In a sentence: No movie about Wall Street is funnier than the 1983 comedy "Trading Places."
Plot: Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd are at their best as director John Landis tells the tale of how one man's fall from Wall Street is another man's blessing. Watching Murphy talk about futures and markets is hilarious and unparalleled in humor.
Genre: Comedy
Trader (1987)
In a sentence: Brilliant... If you can find it.
Plot: Made in 1987 during the raging bull-market, this little-known documentary stars Paul Tudor Jones and chronicles his day-to-day life as an active investor. Jones uses techniques like historical chart reading, taken from Jesse Livermore, to predict the Black Monday crash on film. Even though it portrays Jones in a positive light, finding a (legitimate and legal) copy of this movie is nearly impossible to find as it's rumored that Jones bought all 1000 copies in existence.
Genre: Documentary
