Too Big to Fail (Movie, HBO 2011, on reserve via Canvas)
Wizard of Lies (Movie, HBO 2017, Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme investment scandal)
An Inside Job (Movie, 2010 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, script. Real burn on some good economists, but mostly fair.)
It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Passport to Pimlico (1949)
The Big Short (2015) The Big Short author Michael Lewis on the Financial Crisis
Money for Nothing (2013 documentary, full movie on YouTube) Quick critique: Good history, weaker macroeconomics. Inflation did not rise under Bernanke and remains very low, the US avoided Japan style deflation (how can we worry about both of these?), growth of total nominal debt should be benchmarked against like nominal GDP growth, and the critique of no net job growth at that point ignores the strong growth in jobs since the bottom of the crash, the negative effects of low interest rates are nowhere near as clear as the movie claims.
