Provide a list of movies (with English dialogue) centered around the
stock market.  I am aware of the following: Boiler Room, Wall Street,
Pi, and The Associate.  Black/white movies are fine, too.

Hi,

Following are some I found, along with links to description pages on
the Internet Movie Database. Obviously, some have more to do with the
stock market than others do, but all of them have at least one central
figure who is involved in the market.

Thanks, this will keep me busy for a while. :)

"Rollover" (1981):

"Alan Pakula assembles just the right cast for his remarkable paranoia
political-financial thriller with an equal supply of tension,
intrigue, high drama, romance, uncomfortable home truths and baffling
details of the money markets. Widowed heiress Jane Fonda and banker
Kris Krisofferson get embroiled in one kind of 'rollover' as the Arabs
plot to withdraw their finances from American banks rather than
letting it do the other kind of 'rollover', causing a total stock
market meltdown."

"Rollover," brought up by (the one and only!) pinkfreud above, is one of
my (guilty) favorite movies.  There is a scene where the camera does a
full circle, no cuts sweep that shows an office go from being open, with
lots of activity, to being closed, with desks covered with sheets, etc.
The movie is well shot and nicely edited.

Looking Forward, denco-ga

"Trading Places" (1983):

"The fabulously wealthy but morally bankrupt Duke brothers (Ralph
Bellamy and Don Ameche) make a one-dollar bet over heredity vs.
environment. Curious as to what might happen if different lifestyles
were reversed, they arrange for impoverished street hustler Billy Ray
Valentine (Eddie Murphy) to be placed in the lap of luxury and trained
for a cushy career in the stock market."
