9. Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
This is probably the only movie on this list that you won't find in a bargain bin right now, and that's partly due to the fact that it was made fairly recently, but also because it happened to cost $70 million dollars. Would you spend $70 million dollars on something totally unnecessary that you knew people didn't really care about seeing? If your name's Oliver Stone, then the answer is probably yes. If you said yes and your name is something else, what's
wrong with you? Still, this movie made double its money back, which confuses matters somewhat. I still stand firm on the point that this didn't need to exist and that people only went to see it because... well, we always do, don't we?
Wall Street was a moderate hit in its day, and featured great performances from Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen (the latter of which is swapped out for Shia LaBeouf in the sequel), and maybe there was sort of a chance for it to be good 'cause of the financial crisis and all, but no,
Money Never Sleeps never manages to justify its being alive. Who knew that Gordon Gekko's return could be so freakin' boring?
