Featured film
Wall Street is an American film released in 1987, directed by Oliver Stone. It features Michael Douglas in perhaps his most famous, and notorious role. The film has come to be seen as the archetypal portrayal of 1980s excess, with Douglas as the archetypal "Master of the Universe". Wall Street was written by Stanley Weiser and Oliver Stone. Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.
The first version of the film had a 160-minute running time, as opposed to 120 minutes for the theatrical release. Most of the 40 minutes cut involved a subplot in which Bud had an affair with Gekko's wife, Kate (Sean Young). As a result her appearance in the film is greatly diminished.
Featured quotes
- They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me. - Christian Bale as Batman
- In Italy, there's always chickens, but no eggs. In Africa there's eggs, but never chickens. Who separated them?
- You don't get to tell me what to do ever again.
