?...........Boiler Room, Trading Places, Quicksilver Messenger Service & Limit Up are trading-related movies with rags-to-riches-back-to-rags undertones.

Or for extreme 80's nostalgia there is a film called "Dealers", and now on DVD the TV series "Capital City"

I suppose one to lump in with Capital City would be Chancer - but that is about as realistic as... well all the other films that have been mentioned....

So I went to see this film tonight 21. It's about MIT kids card counting in Vegas mainly. It's based on this fairly well-known book. Ed Thorpe's book "Beat the Dealer" makes a cameo appearance at one point .
