Money drives the world round. That is the reason why money has been the basis for many of our movies' story lines. Here's a look at some of my favourite ones:
1. Wall Street This is one of most well known and critically acclaimed movies about money. It's directed by Oliver Stone, and it stars Michael Douglas. Memorable lines from the film include, "The main thing about money, Bud, is that it makes you do things you don't want to do."
2. Mad Money is a fun comedy about money, its importance and the desperate schemes to get it. It is all about money, and it was even featured on a series of lottery tickets, aimed at people also longing for some mad money.
3. It's a Wonderful Life This is probably the ultimate of the movies about money. It follows the life and story of George Bailey, a man whose life has been continuously delayed by a lack of money and a wealth of loyalty to his town, family and friends. Although it may look like it hasn't paid off, he ultimately gets back more than what he has given.
4. Indecent Proposal This film stars Demi Moore, Robert Redford and Woody Harrelson. It tells the story of what happens when a couple who are in deep need of money are given a proposition. A man offers them a million dollars for one night with the wife.
5. Trading Places A great comedy that stars Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. As its title slightly suggests, it's the story of a rich man who becomes poor, and it's the story of a poor man who becomes rich. How life can change based on your income is chronicled in this light-hearted tale.
6. Hera Pheri Starring Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty, this film tells the story of three unemployed men who get stuck in a comical web of kidnap, ransom, laughter, confusion and of course, a hefty sum of money, all thanks to switched telephone numbers.
