Wall Street (1987)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Watch the movie and open your eyes to the back scenes of the financial market. In its time, Wall Street was a harsh critique of the yuppie way of wealth accumulation, but don't be fooled: Gordon Gekko, Michael Douglas's character, inspired a whole new generation of investors. If before the phrase "Greed is good" seemed wrong, today it's a mantra.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
After inspiring a whole new generation of investors, character Gordon Gekko returns right in the middle of the biggest US financial crisis since the 1930's. So this time, the message is harsher: greed is no good and money is evil. A great lesson on how our unchecked ambitions lead to our own downfall.
Platoon
Oliver Stone is a veteran of the Vietnam War. Therefore, 'Platoon' is a portrait, even if fictional, that does justice to the conflict. A complete way to feel the horrors of war through an extremely realistic view.
JFK
How could a President of the United States of America have been exposed to such a great danger, leading to his assassination in Dallas in the year 1963? With a passion for controversy, director Oliver Stone delved deep into the subject and brought his own vision to the assassination of John Kennedy - which included a coup d'etat. Despite the good rhythm, the movie is long and many accuse it of being a work that, often times, yields to fantasy and conspiracy theories. If you too are passionate about these controversies and theories, JFK was made for you. At the very least, it will lead to heated discussions at a bar table.
Snowden
Olive Stone is a controversial director. In 'Snowden: Hero or Traitor' this is once again confirmed, now with the story of the former agent who decided to reveal all the dirt of US intelligence. The feature film has its high points, mainly for bringing a closer look to Edward Snowden, but perhaps it gets lost a little in the clichés of cinema and the director himself. Still, it is a work that should be watched, analyzed and judged not only as a movie, but also as a political piece.
Alexander
This epic drama directed by Oliver Stone (from 'JFK') offers a vision of one of the greatest figures in human history, which is already a merit in itself. After all, Alexander the Great was one of the greatest leaders in history, who led Macedonia to conquer Persia, among other territories, and promoted a great Pan-Hellenic project, spreading Greek culture throughout the rest of the West - diffusing the arts, culture and leaving a legacy that still accompanies us today. As a movie, 'Alexander' is lacking by being too long and emotionally distant from the protagonist, which displeased the critics. Still, the period reconstruction, costumes and Stone's direction compensate. Also worth mentioning is the cast filled with stars, including Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto and many more.
Born On the Fourth of July
This is Tom Cruise's first major performance in his career, as he plays Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic - and that alone makes the movie worth watching. But the work is more than that, becoming a true experience about the Vietnam War. Watch to understand what drove so many young men to sacrifice for their country, and so many others to criticize the US's interventionist policy.
World Trade Center
Oliver Stone was able to portray part of the great heroes of the September 11, 2001 attack. 'World Trade Center' tells the story of the survival and rescue operation of two men, John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Peña), who were trapped in the wreckage of the World Trade Center after helping the victims. This is a well-executed movie, with excellent performances, direction and editing. Without political artifices, the narrative focuses on the real-life heroes, family and the power of friendship. Despite this, of course, all the horror of the attack is present, but in a more succinct way.
