Great movie!
It's also a good interpretation of an ever more bizarre movie, "The Wicker Man" (the original, not the one with Nic Cage)
Good movie but a) the King's visit to his bunker and b) him going on the subway/underground kind of pissed me off. There was no need to make up those two events that never happened.
Bunker? I thought it was the attic of No 10. Yeah I read the subway thing didn't happen but it tightened up the story a bit. It didn't take away from the story.
I found out that my daughter has never seen Wall St so we're going to watch it together.
You need to warn her about that "cell phone" Michael Douglas uses. It might give the younger generation nightmares and scar your daughter for life.
We taught our kids history going back to ancient civilizations.
Not easy to do in the context of mobile phones and being able to go to the grocery store or refrigerator when you want some food.
Schools don't teach history anymore?
No. They’d rather teach that critical race theory garbage.
Then it is the responsibility of parents to teach history.
It's also nice having a home library so kids can just go read up if they're curious.
Love that movie. I know you’re into stocks and investments, and I can definitely tell you, you’ll appreciate that movie if you haven’t seen it before. It was interesting during the 80s in terms of how things were valued, compared to a lot of digital currency today. Nonetheless, the follow up movie that was made that is “Wall Street Money never sleeps” , and actually that was my favorite of the two movies, which Michael Douglas also stars in. If you get a chance to watch the second one, I think you’d like it, it has Josh Brolin and Shia LaBeouf, the whole movie is great and gives a total different outlook how things changed from the 80’s into today’s market.
Garbage? Really? BTW, I thought the thread where this belongs was terminated.

I've seen them both several times. I enjoyed the first one a bit more than the second. Michael Douglas makes for a good anti-hero.
Michael Douglas is a natural businessman, regardless of being an actor or not, there’s nobody that could’ve played those roles better than him. He was literally designed for these movies, he’s that good.
Caddyshack (1980)- A favorite comedy, within their realm, great performances by Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, Ted Knight, and Rodney Dangerfield in his prime.
Michael Douglas is an ACTOR playing a role. He is probably a horrible 'businessman', but a damn good actor. That is the real tragedy, IMO, on what 'reality TV' has done to people. So many are really horrible people, playing a role their greed, narcissism, and directors have told them to play. Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt is a gay man, and I've seen him in movies appearing to be a very loving and caring man to the women in the movie. He's a good actor. Being a good actor isn;t limited to just TV either. Knowing who is acting, and who isn't is hard, but people need to learn that skill...

Just rewatched Roger Rabbit after not having seen it since release.
Incredible flick. I reckon it would make a great double bill with the first Back to the Future. Both movies are chocablock full of the easter eggs.

What? The guy who made Don Jon? Hahahahaha!
He is married to a woman and has a child with her.
Two Bolded points in your post:
Please, do some basic research before you post falsities, none of what you said is actually accurate. Michael Douglas is a businessman [Which can have multiple avenues of what is considered a businessman] with investments on the side post acting if you actually researched his bio, and Joseph Gordon Levitt is a married man with two children to Tasha McCauley.

Sea Fever (2019)
First time around this one didn't really "click" with me, however with subsequent views I find myself really enjoying the film. It's not a blockbuster and the story has been done good few times, however it's well executed with slight tilt to Lovecraftian horror.
It's a decent indie film and to some respects beats the repetitiveness of the Hollywood reboots and the PC focused poor storytelling.

The Vast of Night (2020)- Seen on Prime Video. Described as a noirish sci-fi mystery set in a small town in the 1950s New Mexico. It’s atmospheric, competently crafted, but I really disliked the stylized film quality as if you were watching an old film, and it starts out on a 1950s style TV with a Rod Serling voice introducing an episode of Paradox Theater. I almost drifted off halfway through because atmosphere can only take you so far…A plus it was only 90 min. 😴
Based vaguely on some real UFO related incidents.
