Directed by Oliver Stone and starring Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, and Daryl Hannah, the 1987 film Wall Street has become an emblematic depiction of the excesses, successes and greed involved in the financial market of the 1980s. Douglas won the Academy Award for Best Actor and thanked Oliver Stone for "casting me in a part that almost nobody thought I could play" Douglas is often cited for his character Gordon Gekko's memorable line, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
