The market is closed on Monday, but that doesn't mean you have to take a day off from your love of Wall Street (obviously).

With you free time, catch up on the classics or maybe see something new. Either way, there are plenty of awesome movies (from Wall Street to Bonfire of the Vanities) to keep you in the Wall Street mindset.

Check them out here, and then fire up your Netflix (if that's how you do it).

Rogue Trader (1999)

In a sentence: Faster paced British version of "Wall Street."

Plot: Based on the real-life story of Barings Bank trader Nick Leeson, Ewan McGregor does a surprisingly awesome job of emulating the British wunderkind down to his addiction to fruit candies. While a relatively unsuccessful movie at the box office, Rogue Trader is entertaining.



Trading Places (1983)

In a sentence: No movie about Wall Street is funnier than the 1983 comedy "Trading Places."

Plot: Eddie Murphy and Dan Akroyd are at their best as director John Landis tells the tale of how one man's fall from Wall Street is another man's blessing. Watching Murphy talk about futures and markets is hilarious and unparalleled in humor.



Wall Street (1987)

In a sentence: The classic Wall Street film.

Plot: Oliver Stone originally set out to depict the greed associated with Wall Street in the 1980s. Little did he know, it would go on to become one of the finest pieces of financial cinema ever created. Traders still go nuts for this movie and everyone loves Michael Douglas' character Gordan Gekko, who is modeled partly after Michael Milken and Ivan Boesky.
