I've watched The Big Short once and that was enough for me.

I've watched Margin Call several times and will watch it again.

Other than the subject matter, I don't think they have much in common. Margin Call is a compressed intense story about a bunch of people trying to navigate something much bigger than them, it's not just about finances. The Big Short to me, seemed to be just about finances. Also, there are some people in it.

The Big Short was an ELI5 documentary. Margin Call is a great and often underappreciated film.
