In light of the sequel appearing in theatres this weekend, I decided to finally sit down and watch the original "Wall Street." Michael Douglas earned an Oscar for his role while Charlie Sheen had a serious performance with real-life father Martin Sheen playing his dad in the film. It followed the rush of the greed and stock market envy of the 1980s. The film did a great job of investigating insider trading and the effect of money and greed on the human soul. I thought the movie was well-done, very insightful for its time, and had a great ending. I'd give this modern classic 4 out of 5 stars.
