The best comedies about traders
The topic of trading is not often portrayed in movies, but if such a film is released, you are bound to have a quality time evening! Especially when it comes to comedies: money, risks, a maniacal desire to get rich and get the better of the competitors become the cause of funny situations in the life of the main characters. We offer you a selection of sparkling comedies about the exchange that will definitely make you smile.
1."Trading Places" Street hustler and con artist Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) changes places with the successful financial manager Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd).

The cruel joke is played on them by the millionaire brothers Mortimer and Randolph Duke, who are sure that they can change the fate of people without any consequences. But what will this reckless scheme turn into for them?
2. "The Associate" Laurel Ayres (Whoopi Goldberg) works as a financial analyst and struggles to climb the career ladder. But because of the gender stereotypes that prevail in the male environment, the girl does not get to show her professionalism and talent. Then Laurel comes up with a "wealthy partner" Robert S. Cutty, on whose behalf she allegedly does business. The unknown mysterious businessman becomes so successful that he begins to attract everyone's attention and even receives an invitation to join a private club. Now Laurel will have to step out of the shadow of her nonexistent partner and start forging her own path!
3. "Other People's Money" Lawrence Garfield (Danny DeVito) hunts down other people's companies and forces them into bankruptcy for personal gain, which gets him the nickname "Larry the Liquidator".

Kate not only deftly wards off Lawrence's blows, but also takes a special place in his heart. Larry the Liquidator has to choose what is more important: feelings or money hunger.
4. "A Good Year" Max Skinner (Russell Crowe) has achieved success in business, losing along the way the ability to empathize with others and enjoy life. Suddenly, he inherits a house in Provence and a vineyard estate from his uncle. The stockbroker comes to France to sell the estate, but due to unlucky circumstances, he does not succeed in doing it.

In just a week, the businessman reconsiders his life values and decides to change everything.

To stay afloat, he starts writing a column in a women's magazine instead of his runaway lover Cindy. Having barely achieved success in the new field, Ryan again finds himself overboard: the real Cindy takes all the laurels for herself. But now the former broker knows how to turn a failure in his favor.
7. "Bank Error in Your Favor" Julien Foucault (Gérard Lanvin) has worked as a concierge at the Berthin-Schwartz bank for many years.
