The crazy world of the stock market in 18 films and series
1/18AMERICAN PSYCHO (Movistar Plus+)Many remember the chameleon-like Christina Bale for this film in which she nails her role as a lunatic. A dark drama (or black comedy?) about how a guy is capable of fighting over details as insignificant as a business card and ends up murdering for pure pleasure. The prototype of Master of the Universe that prevailed so much in the 80s on Wall Street, with untouchable characters of exquisite appearance and manners.

10/18THE BIG BET (Disney+, Netflix)With a devilish pace and a didacticism worthy of gratitude, Adam McKay tells us what happened in 2008 on a financial level. Furthermore, helped by a cast with more stars than the Oscars: Brad Pitt, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, Steve Carell and Selena Gomez, among others.
