Film Recommendations - The Flaw / Margin Call

[GS_Dirtboy]

(My apologies if this isn't the place to post this. I didn't see any other forum that looked appropriate.)

I just watched The Flaw and found it really educational and interesting! The Flaw is a documentary by David Sington about the economic bubble in the US that preceded the crash in 2008. It does a really good job of explaining the social, historical, and economic pressures and does a great job in explaining fairly complex economic theory and moments in a way that, even if you are math-challenged, you'll get.

A great double feature is to watch Margin Call (with Kevin Spacey and Demi Moore) and The Flaw back-to-back. Margin Call is loosely modeled after the Lehmen Brother's failure that was the key pin that started the collapse.

You can get both on iTunes. I highly recommend them. Great watching if your spouse/SO or the kids are gone and you're tired of the usual yada yada.

If you want to see a thought provoking ARGENTINE film (that will affect your perception of the police in Argentina) try to find EL BONAERENSE. It isn't about the military junta of the 70's and 80's. It's a story that could happen again and again and again (yesterday, today, and tomorrow).
