Stuff for Finance Students

Movies:
Other People's Money :
Possibly the best finance movie ever made about a typical 1980 acquisition. Funny and accurate. This is a classic that I have shown several times. There are some scenes that probably should be fast forwarded through but highly entertaining.

Barbarians at the Gate:
It is an very entertaining movie that can be used to show the role of Investment Bankers in a takeover as well as used as a way to discuss the takeover process, why cautions are good for shareholders, responsibilities of the Board of Directors, and more.

Wall Street is an obvious choice:
There are sections of the movie that make fantastic sound bites for class. Obviously the "greed is good" speech makes for interesting class discussions as does the insider trading, shareholder-stakeholder discussion, and ethics.

Trading Places:
While a bit older (1983) and with some swearing, this is a funny movie that shows the future commodity exchange.

The Forbes Series on Great Investors:
Probably best for an introductory Investments class. Well done series of interviews.

The below are documentaries from A&E or the History Channel;

Modern Marvels:
US Mints and Money Machines. An interesting documentary perfect for a Money and Banking class.

Counterfeiting: It discusses counterfeiting and how the US fights it. Also gives a look at the future of money.
