My father was a trader on the floor of the CME in Chicago for a short bit (mid to late 90s), and Trading Places was provided as required reading before he taught me how to trade commodities. Great film. I have the VHS copy somewhere for sentimental reasons.
Why you can’t trade onions futures is also a fun read, for similar reasons (“The Great Onion Corner”).
