Today marks the anniversary of one of my top 10 favorite of all time movies Wall Street. Oliver Stone will be on CNBC's Fast Money tonight at 5pm. And I think you all know what I will be watching tonight.
 
<p><em>"And there is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can't. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or him? Now be relentless, that's it, I'm done."</em></p>

<p>There are many more quotes I could add but they are not language approved for the forums.</p>
 
<p>Wall Street is one of the best movie ever made (imo), Boiler Room shares a lot of the similar qualities, but the story line is not as refined. 2 scenes jumps out for Boiler Room though:</p>

<p>1. Vin Diesel pitching to the rich doctors (it was bad... in a very good way)</p>

<p>2. 7 people sitting around repeating lines from Wall Street.</p>

<p>I heard really good things about Glengarry Glen Ross as well.</p>

Glengarry Glen Ross is much darker and kind of depressing. Wall St. and Boiler Room motivate me whereas GGR makes me want to hide in a dark room.

<p>I love Boiler Room because of Vin Diesel. He was really good in the movie and then they made him into an "action star" </p>
 
<p>IC: thank you sir! if you like Vin, should check him out in Riddick. He was underrated in that series as well.</p>

<p>I'm in sales/marketing, so I am biased towards these scenes. :)</p>
 
<p>Greed is good?</p>

Wow... back in the day when Michael Douglas was hot.





Personally, I was always a fan of "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102609/quotes">Other People's Money</a>." Lame, I know.
