Fintech/Business Movie or Web Series Like "Silicon Valley" or Else
Can you guys suggest some good movies or web series? It sometimes boosts the work by how it is displayed on the screen. Any good series will do.
Thanks
Halt and Catch Fire is not a comedy, but still an amazing show about the early days of personal computers
I love corporate/financial/technology/mathematics thriller film genres but they seems to be a very small niche. Good ones are especially rare. My favourite is "Michael Clayton" (2007), and "Margin Call" (2011) is my second favourite. "Sneakers" (1992) is old but pretty good. "Disclosure" (1994) is also old but quite watchable. Dare I mention "Pi" (1998)?
Someone here mentioned the TV series "Billions" which is my guilty pleasure. The stories are so absurd but the great cast manages to carry it off successfully. The only criticism I would make is that, although the show is ostensibly about a hedge fund manager, it seems to contain almost zero actual finance or game theory stuff. The only occasion, that I can recall, when finance enters the plot in a semi-serious way is the episode "Short Squeeze", which was one of my favourite episodes.
I don't understand your second sentence but you might want to look at Office Space - it's a movie about software developers made by the same creator as Silicon Valley (Mike Judge).
For more fun, fiction and action have a look at the Tetris movie on Apple TV.
I like "The I.T. Crowd", but it might be a little too dated/cynical for some people today.
Mythic Quest, comedy show about a game studio that is developing a mmorpg. Was pretty good in my opinion
Lots of classic movies about or that came roughly around the 2008 financial crisis:)
Wolf of Wall Street
Margin Call
The Big Short
Margin Call might be the most accurate one (as accurate as a movie can get) and one that actually peeks into modern finance operations.
Code Monkeys. Animation, 8bit, pretty crude humor. Look it up on youtube.
“Industry” on HBO for glimpse into junior-level investment banking
Betas is also a techy comedy
billions
super pumped
