Back when Vin was trying to act still and not just play the tough guy.

I liked Boiler Room. Glengarry Glen Ross comes to mind as well.

I preferred how the Big Short showed how it was going to affect everyone compared to Margin Call just being about this one company getting out ahead of it. I wanted more after the event facts to appear on screen instead of the implication that we were all just digging graves out there. That being said, I still enjoyed Margin Call for the contained movie that it is.

Reply to October Sky...close to perfection by Aidolo1981

One of my guilty pleasure movies for sure. I watch this movie once a year probably. It’s got some real heart in there. The teachers journey. Chris Cooper standing up for the Jakes friend and beating up on the drunk step father gives me goosebumps just thinking about the scene. Love this movie. Damn it. Now I have to watch it again.
