Only one downside in that movie: Al Franken, now Minnesota Senator Franken.
(More like Frankenstein, imo)
Even then he was after power. His most revealing line:
"It's my turn to drive."

I was doing some commodity trading when that came out so really enjoyed it.

Time to stock up on Gevalia. :)

I have seen that movie countless times and I still get a kick out of it. One great thing about it was that it really caught the atmosphere in the old commodity trading pits. I once got to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and it was wild, chaotic, frenzied, brutal, and deafening--all at the same time--yet there was an underlying order to it, too. Fascinating.

Yes, great characters, acting, humor, satire. The cast was perfect: Dan Ackroyd, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Lee Curtus, Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche, Denholm Elliott. An old friend and I used to end each conversation with Looking Good ... Feeling Good.

I love that movie.

Part of this story reminds me of the movie Trading Places where the meteorologists report was used in a Wal St trading scheme by manipulating the timing of its release and rumors before release.
