Today marks the anniversary of one of my top 10 favorite of all time movies Wall Street. Oliver Stone will be on CNBC's Fast Money tonight at 5pm. And I think you all know what I will be watching tonight.
 
"And there is no such thing as a no sale call. A sale is made on every call you make. Either you sell the client some stock or he sells you a reason he can't. Either way a sale is made, the only question is who is gonna close? You or him? Now be relentless, that's it, I'm done."

There are many more quotes I could add but they are not language approved for the forums.
 
Wall Street is one of the best movie ever made (imo), Boiler Room shares a lot of the similar qualities, but the story line is not as refined. 2 scenes jumps out for Boiler Room though:

1. Vin Diesel pitching to the rich doctors (it was bad... in a very good way)

2. 7 people sitting around repeating lines from Wall Street.

I heard really good things about Glengarry Glen Ross as well.

Glengarry Glen Ross is much darker and kind of depressing. Wall St. and Boiler Room motivate me whereas GGR makes me want to hide in a dark room.
 
IC: thank you sir! if you like Vin, should check him out in Riddick. He was underrated in that series as well.

I'm in sales/marketing, so I am biased towards these scenes. :)
