i want a list of all (american-made) movies from 1970 to the present
(2004) with accountants in prominent roles. for instance, in
schindler's list, ben kingsley plays an accountant.

The Producers had an accountant but I'm not sure when it was made.

I can provide you with a list of 28 movies, however this is not a
complete list and does not include all the movies made with
accountants from 1970 to the present.

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Charles Martin Smith (playing accountant Oscar Wallace) who finds a
way to convict Al Capone -- of dodging taxes -- in the 1987 movie,
"The Untouchables."

Sorry about the typo.
It should be "movie" not "movies"

That's a BIG job for only 4 bucks ;)
