Oliver Stone's 1987 classic "Wall Street" gets the big screen treatment at The Beverly Theater, bringing Gordon Gekko's ruthless "greed is good" philosophy back to life in the venue's intimate, acoustically sharp main theater. Michael Douglas's Oscar-winning performance as the predatory corporate raider, alongside Charlie Sheen's ambitious young broker Bud Fox, still crackles with the same energy and moral tension that made this a defining film about 1980s excess and ambition.

Catching this one in a proper theater setting, rather than on a home screen, adds something to the experience of watching Stone's sharp, stylish take on power, money, and the costs of chasing both. The Beverly's cozy 150-seat space makes for a more personal way to revisit a film that's become something of a cultural shorthand for Wall Street ambition and its pitfalls.
